Polishing Engine Pt2

I started removing the paint from my rocker cover today using the wire brush in the angry grinder.
Does anyone have any tips on how to remove the paint from in where the spark plugs go?

Yeah, its got to be paint striper.
- Otherwise a suitable diameter flap sander or wire brush attachment on a drill if you want to go for it mechanically.

Nitromors paint stripper

Might take a couple of goes but it'll shift it in the end

Make sure you wipe with white spirit or Thinners to remove all the Nitromors before Polishing or Painting
