Trying to remove paint from LS6 springs...
....What should I use to do it? They have a light coat of yellow on them, and I dont want the dealer to notice under the oil fill cap, so I want to make them look stock. Do you think paint thinner would work, I dont want to harm or soften the metal whatsoever!

You think the dealer is going to see a spring? I have a hard time seeing more than the top of the rocker.
Once the oil changes color, I think it would be really hard to see the color. Paint thinner will probably cut the stuff off of the springs. I seem to remember that it being very fragile and a light pressure from a standard screwdriver would flake the coating.

springs do come in different colors so I would not worry about your dealer thinking you changed springs.... now if he can hear the cam lope you are in trouble...
