Hi Guys, Has anyone restored their valve cover? Paint is flaking off of mine and am a little cautious of stripping and paining as it is Magnesium. Anybody able to share their advice?
Thanks, Snoo.

What do you mean by 'dipped'? In paint stripper?
Cheers

Sorry I had mine chemically dipped, paint stripper is ok but messy I do not have the patience.
If using paint stripper or any solvent best putting cover in the dishwasher (or bowl with hot soapy water) to get it all off before painting.
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
