The engine cover was the next thing I worked on. I used a wire wheel on an angle grinder to clean it up and remove all the paint. The inside of the cover looked like it was asbestos, so I tried not to mess with it any. I left it in there, so I didn't try to blast it or try to powder coat it. I used a solvent to clean up the surface and then primed and painted it with rattle can gloss black. It wasn't too bad.
