beautifying my intake...
Well this may be an odd question. I have no idea. I recently bought an 88 Z28 with a TPI engine. Anyways, the guy painted the whole upper plenum and runners BLUE. It doesnt look too appealing and i was wondering wats the best thing to use to take it off because in some areas sandpaper wont work. Any ideas are greatly appreciated

I Agree. You will not believe how good it works. I used it on my Formula Rims to strip them, I have also used it on powder coated Bikes before back in my BMXing days.

ok so the aint stripper worked miracles. Im soon going to chrome the whole intake but I was wondering if I could leave it without any paint. It looks like its stock right now.
Re: beautifying my intake...
Yeah, you can leave it without paint. You might want to look into polishing it though. I think there might even be a tech article on it. Basically you just need to sand it down, work your way up till you get to 1500 or 2000 grit, and buff it out a little. If you take your time and do a good job it'll look just as good as chrome.
