Can someone recommend a OTC paint stripper. I have some valve covers that are painted black from the factory. I want to remove the paint and polish them. But first the hard part, getting the paint off.

I second Danase's recommendation ..this stuff strips paint like crazy...I even bought it at wal mart ..stuff cuts right thru paint...
If you have a bench grinder..get a sisal polishing wheel and a stick of compound and polishing material and it will come out like a mirror...can get all at Home Depot or Lowes....

I sandblasted my rims and in the end wished I had gone with Aircraft stripper. It was a ***** sanding all those spokes and wells. So Id say go with the aircraft stuff

Your right, I tried the Aircraft Paint Stripper, It took about 60% of the paint off, I used 1 can per valve cover and left it on for about 30 minutes. I'm going to get the rest off by media blasting. I cant wait to start polishing them.

For further information on eco-friendly powder coating stripping solutions visit: How to: Remove Powder Coating-What's New?
If you want to use an eco-friendly aluminum stripper/coating remover, look at ordering a sample of MILES #8612 Eco-Powder Strip. I should know it works, because I formulated it. Here is how it is used: You may utilize MILES #8612 at room temperature overnight to remove 2-4 mils of cured conventional TGIC powder coating from hooks, racks and parts. For faster stripping, in less than an hour, You will need to set up a heated immersion tank, it may be fabricated of mild steel or stainless steel. For small jobbers: Utilize an open head steel drum with an electric exterior-drum heater to reach 165F. Strip cured coatings from parts, hooks and fixtures daily. MILES #8612 is non-hazardous, eco-friendly, effective, safe, and won't burn the skin. It can be reused for up to 1-year and requires no mixing or water, just use as received and return your valuable parts to original pre-paint surface condition, then re-coat for a perfect part!
Easy to order for $34.85/gallon in 5-gallon pails or $24.85/gallon in 55-gallon drums.
