[QUOTE="Rednaxs60, post: 194916, member: 4617"] Lots of good information regarding this topic. Brake fluid, oven cleaner, as well as other products have been recommended. Bead blasting then powder coat parts as well. Since I need these covers when I get and install the Ns (crankshaft) sensor, I decided to sand down to bare aluminum. Both covers have/had dings as well as deep scratches and the paint removed to bare aluminum. Sanded down to bare aluminum, 2 coats of zinc chromate, 3 coats of Tremclad gloss aluminum, then 2 coats of clear lacquer. Think they turned out not too bad - will tide me over until I decide on the next move. Have thought about powder coating, do like the end result. Thankfully, I intend to keep the '85 LTD (never get my investment back). Have always wanted to refurbish and bring an older bike back to original. Want to take engine out and clean it all round, and paint. Have to do the valve covers as well. Should be able to get the 4 covers bead blasted for around $50.00, and then powder coat. Doing the spray can at this time allows me to find out what is available here on the island for powder coating. Took some before and after pictures of the worst timing belt cover:[ATTACH type="full" alt="Timing Belt Cover 1.jpg"]15536._xfImport[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="Timing Belt Cover 2.jpg"]15537._xfImport[/ATTACH] Think the cover(s) turned out pretty good considering, and with the fairings and all, not too many people are going to get down and personal to see the imperfections.
