i didn't have much probs with the paint stripper... just some burning sensations :shock: but yeh, polishing it was a SLART! took me a couple of hours to just polish the top flat bit by hand nicely before i gave up on the rest :? painted the rest that time, then learnt the 2nd time when the engine was out and sent it to someone to get polished!

It's really not that hard, just soak the crap out of it with paint stripper, then go down to car lovers at night and blast it. Easy.

Don't bother polishing it by hand, go to the hardware shop and get a polishing kit for your drill. Most kits come with different grades of abrasive wheels, and cloth wheels.
