Removing paint off of intake Well, I decided to paint my intake (LS6) and after my 3rd coat of red, it looked really nice. I decided to put clear coat on it, and guess what, it wrinkled 
It was my fault for not reading the intructions.
Anyone have any advice of getting the paint off?
I have a glass bead booth (sand blaster), will that hurt the intake?
Also was afraid to use chemicals, acetone, thinner, brake fluid?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Blasting shouild work fine, just tape off the gasket surfaces. You could try a spot on the intake that will not be easily seen to be sure it doesn't scar up the finish before you do it all.
