How can I....
Ive just bought a used cam carrier cover (the bit the plug cover bolts to) because the threaded holes on mine for the plug cover to attach to wer fooked.
My question is the paint on it is **** and flaking off how can i strip it back? Can i use nitro morse with out it wrecking the metal?
And what paint can i use thats heatproof?

nitromors would be fine, halfords do high temp paint for about £6 a can, red, black, silver, matt black, they also have extreme high temp paint but that is matt and not very durable, you could always get it powdercoated? probably about £10(thats how much mine costed to do)

if you plastic primer it first then you should be able to yes, but make sure its well rubbed down with panel wipe first so it sticks to it
