I spent a couple of hours today stripping the yellow off the rocker covers, it took longer than expected because the yellow was just painted directly over the top of the original red! So basically I had to strip it twice because the paint stripper wouldn't penetrate through both layers of paint at the same time.

They came out quite well I thought, I gave them a light sand to get them as clean as possible. The hardest part was trying to clean up around the spark wire bracket fittings and to get the damn gasket out. I think it was still the original gasket and man that thing was stuck in the recess real good, it finally came out though with some crafty screwdriver work..
I'm painting them new ford blue tomorrow if the weather is good which was the best blue I could find that wasn't too dark or too light. I'll post up some more pics when they're done, but for bare metal they look pretty nice right now I think!
