I had a bunch of items painted by a shop here, and they did a great job, BUT, they painted the inside of the oil pan and valve cover (plus fuel cap). They used epoxy primer and PPG urethane red (the expensive kind). They first sand blasted the items, then applied the paints. I didn't realize what had happened until I got the items all home.
I removed the fuel cap red paint easily with ACE type paint remover, but the epoxy was stubborn, but after it got soft, it came off with some CNH thinner. The primer appeared to etch the metal. I got it all off and now it looks right, but my question is -- will the oil pan and valve cover paint give me future problems? It appears to me that the paint is really on there good. Should I take it off or leave it on?
