In most states, as long as it doesn't interfere with emissions controls and such, it's legal..

California is just run by monkeys.

I actually think it's a good idea for some parts of mid/southern California. Until I can visit those places and actually breath properly I'm all for strict emission control in California.

Yes, try brake fluid. Seriously.
Buy regular brake fluid from Walmart. Then soak for 3-4 days.
Use a brush to scrape the skin of paint off.

That brake fluid is potent chemicals against paint, and your skin, use some damn gloves. - I'm speaking from experience.

For painting:
Seek out a professional car-painter. Remember, some human beings are supremely gifted with art... so hell, why not get one to do the hard work.

Good luck!

Cheers

If you want to chat about brake fluid, or car-painters, send me a prvt message.

if it were easy to paint, everyone would do it and there would be to painting industry. As the saying goes at least........

I thought about painting my cover, but I run without the cover and I don't what to put it back on, so it's kinda pointless.
