there is a product called white rouge. it's a stone that will polish metal to where i looks like chrome. it's like a very fine emery cloth. it's pretty cheap, and looks great.

I bought something from advance auto that you just spray on, let it sit for 10-20 mins and just wipe off all the paint with a rag.Stuff works great.Its called Tal-Strip paint remover.I think it was about $3.I used it on the heat shield and throttle cover and barley used any.Got enough for more polishing!

so how hard was it for the paint on the side cases to come off? I know on my electric starter cover and oil filter cover it was still a bear getting it off with the air craft stripper. lol works good on the throttle cover, lol shrivels that paint right up.
