I would pay someone else to remove the part, I'd take it over on the =
west coast and paint it so I wouldn't overspray onto my truck, which I =
would leave in NC. Then I'd bring it back after I was sure it was dry =
(a year or two.)=20
But seriously, I'm only thinking about Valve Covers and small items =
easily removed. On the valve covers, though. What would the process be =
of painting? Do I need to strip the old paint off? What about putting =
other stuff on it other than paint, i.e. primer/clear coat?=20
