I asked yesterday, but I guess you didn't see it.

Is it powder-coating? How did you achieve the wrinkle coat black finnish so well??
I want to paint my intake minifold like this (cuz it's lookin' skuzzy) when I take it off soon.

or Eastwood Wrinkle Finish....
1) Remove parts to paint
2) Use a degreaser to clean parts to paint
3) Clean parts again VERY WELL with lacquer thinner.
4) Mist on a light coat to start building up the finish (primer not needed)
5) Make your first thick even coat
6) Wait 3 minutes and spray 1 more thick coat.
7) Allow to dry 12+ hours, I waited 24 and 3 days later is still smells horrbile.

is it possible to get that stuff off ???
previous owner did a crappy job on my cover. I'd like to do it again if I could get the old stuff off but I have a feeling it might be easier sourcing another cover. anyone have secrets for removal ?

That's an excellent write up...
Too bad the pictures in the link are dead. 
But, judging from the engine shot in his sig, that could make me droool, he knows what he's doing!

A good stripper is always nice. The one I recommend is...
...Aircraft Remover. Yes, that's what it's called. It's also VERY nasty, as far as solvent content goes. DO NOT get it on your hands/face/tongue/wiener. Use neoprene gloves, if you can find them, and use in a WELL ventilated space. It works crazy-good, but you have to think about safety.
I'm a chemist, and I know some stuff about what's in there. I follow all the above precautions when I use it.
