I have a new Lycoming I'm going to install shortly. I'm thinking about removing the factory paint from the valve covers, and polishing them for a better look.
Can anyone tell me what the best way to remove the paint is?... Bead blasting, paint remover or ??
Also, from a couple of small scratches in the paint already, it looks like the underlying metal has a goldish tint to it. Will removing the paint damage this color?
Thoughts?
Thanks! Tom
