    I used SmartStrip advanced paint remover to do my valve cover, and while not as effective as aircraft paint remover, it is pretty decent. It's also odorless and biodegredable, so you can do it inside a garage. I found it at Rona for about 30$

    @superdude1759 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    So, I’m an aircraft mech and here’s what you can do to strip that thing in 10 minutes. Invest in a media/grit blaster which you may already have and run plastic beads through it. It will take off all of the paint and primer leaving the metal and even its conversion coating undisturbed. Plastic media is used on aluminum alloy and of course anything harder. It’s not as good for thorough corrosion removal but will remove some.

    • @bill4639
      @bill4639 หลายเดือนก่อน

      You can get a blasting cabinet and everything else you need from Harbor Freight for about $300. You can get media at Harbor Freight, but I use blasting sand from Home Depot and the finish it leaves on the metal gives you PERFECT paint adhesion. 2 steps: 1) Sand blast any piece of dirty metal 2) Paint. I sand blast everything now.

  • @josephmatuszak3855

    I don't usually chemically strip stuff if I dont have to. Instead I use a combo of bead blasting and walnut shell, and I have a lot of different scotch brite looking wheels I use to finish. For valve covers it's super easy. I just cut out some plyboard and use threaded rods thru to plug/fasten to the board. Makes it easy to see/move without blasting inside it.

  • @brayanzuniga11
    @brayanzuniga11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Okay so here’s thing about the newer paint strippers. You have to apply it liberally but not too liberally. Think of a Krispy Kreme glazed doughnut. THEN, you have to drape a plastic bag on it and tap it on so it makes contact with every treated surface. It’s not the same as the good stuff but it’s the closest you will get. Good luck with all future projects, you’ve earned my sub.

    Aircraft remover is still sold
    In the US all over the place. I got some from O’Reilly’s the other day, but MAN is it expensive! It’s nearly $80/gal now. Sucks when you need lots of it for things like wheels.
    Aircraft remover also makes a spray can that works really well too for smaller projects. My advice is to make a little vat and ‘dip’ the valve cover in it for about 30-45min and the paint falls right off.

    You guys hit the nail on the head in regards to certain chemicals that made paint stripper of the past very effective recently being outlawed. But consider also that honda uses a very high quality, chemical resistant coating on their valve covers... I usually glass bead them first, then use 2 or 3 treatments of paint remover and scraping and media blast again. Repeat if necessary. That coating is tough! 😂

    Yeah, to give a little more info on that aircraft paint stripper for you guys: the chemical is called MEK(butanone) and the reason it's hard to get is because it's HIGHLY CARCINOGENIC! We used that stuff in the navy back in the day, and even then we had to wear a TON of PPE. There isn't just a possibility of you getting cancer, just the question of "when" you'll get it. If you breathe it in for longer than like 2 minutes without any respiratory protection, you're at high risk. Yeah, it wrinkles paint up pretty quick, but it isn't worth all the risk involved in using it.

    Ive got a 9th gen si (car in my profile pic) that i wish had a k20 head. Ive got the k24z7 already and a lsd 6 speed with full bolt ons and dyno tuned on hondata. I would love if you guys did an all motor build series on my car and did a k20 head swap and maybe a different clutch to hold the power. Man a guy can wish right??? I would give u guys full rights to do what ever u wanted and all the time you needed. You guys rock!!

    The retail paint stripper works much better if you spray it on super heavy then wrap it up in a trash bag so it doesn't evaporate out as fast. Do all my valve covers with it

    I'm team k. But that type r is just a legend and a reason my eyes turned towards honda in the early 2000s. But I do own a turbo k eg that is also charcoal Grey. So naturally. I'm team ek-k

    I used CRC gasket remover from my local napa to strip my 2JZ valve covers, they worked very well after two passes

      I've tried it, it won't dissolve Hondas powder coat, you need B17, which needs a license to order

    Great work!! It’s about all of it, the build, how they look and how they perform. We all strive for the show and go just maybe without all the chrome lol

    I used aircraft stripper and it didn’t do anything. The jasco worked flawlessly for me. It was on a set of TRD factory powder coated wheels too, which is tough as nails.

    Hey guys I’m still watching the episode but I figure I’d let you know about safe n’ easy paint stripper gel. I’ve been using it and it pulls paint off really well and I got a bottle for 12 bucks. You’ll have to use a brush but seems to work extremely well! Hope that helps. Keep up the awesome videos!

    Dot3 brake fluid is a good paint stripper. Takes awhile, but works.

    Aircraft stripper is still available in the states. It's available pretty much everywhere. I always degrease and clean the parts I'm gonna strip first so it can work better.

    why not vapor honing the valve cover? Seems like a great way to get that cleaned up!

      Takes way too long and is high risk for having media go through the engine

    A wire wheel is gotta get scuffed any way. Degrees and there is a can of gooey paint stripper used for wood metal and other surfaces that may make it faster. I did my valve cover.

    Can't wait to see this monster on the road! Just from personal experience, I'd swap the Hondata plastic IM gasket for an OEM metal one. Those plastic ones tend to crack.

    Just put a couple of lines off the rack to a power steering tank, looping doesn't address all the pressure in the line. With a tank and a couple of short lines the rack is more than light enough when driving without having to pump up power steering again.

    A good alternative paint stripper I've found is some stuff called "Citristrip". Doesn't have any toxic smells and it actually strips paint really well.

    My experience with paint stripper, heat has a lot to do with it. Pre-heating the part and keeping it warm helps the chemical reaction. But yeah, the old Aircraft Paint Remover stuff was pretty gnarly, worked really well, RIP.

    Dustless Blasting/Wet Blasting is the ticket and affordable for a part of that size.
