dude, put brake fluid on it and let it sit in the sun, itll eat the paint right off.

doesnt matter what kind?
I think I either used high temp heat or some engine paint thing (both were spray cans) ...
ive tried using this heavy concentrated alcohol stuff but that didnt work. Ill try the brake fluid sometime when there is actually sun out.. thanks Dawgz.

this guy from expertvillage is so boring..to know how to change spark plugs you need to watch like 50 videos.. he could put all in 1 video and save so much time hearing him for nothing usefull.. but anyway thats cool to have youtube videos from them about DIY.

Just be careful not to let it sit too long. I've had plastic pieces warp.

Just get some paint spray remover like aircraft stripper.

If you are still interested, i will donate to your cause for the price of shipping and packing. Plus a cheesy bean and rice burrito at taco bell.

Buy the larger engine cover instead of the small OEM one.

where's that available? never seen one.

OEM vs. Full (97/98 ES300). And I'm repainting it, looks like crap.
