i just installed a used ls6 intake wen i had my cam installed last but i just noticed the other day that there is like spray can marks on the top like someone started to repaint it a different shade of black, i was wondering what i could use to strip it off without hurting or discoloring the finish on the intake

Just pull the intake, and use some 100-250 grit sandpaper and respray it.

would have to buy a new gasket for the intake once i pulled it off

No, the gaskets are rubber and can be reused as long as they are in good condition. FYI, they are 8 oval shaped rubber gaskets, one for each intake port.

i bought my gaskets from summit for like $25 bucks if yours are in bad shape. i think the dealer charges over 50

na the gaskets are like a week old, but im really tryin to avoid removing the intake any ideas on removing the spray paint without painting the whole thing

My grandpa says the lazy man does the work twice...

It's not hard to take it off, there are plenty of how to's for this.

It would look a lot better if you'd paint it.

see i would take the thing off if the whole thing was painted but its only a few little sprays here and there

Try a scuff pad and maybe some thinner??

paint thinner might work

Use a light grade of scotch bright, rub lightly and see if that works.
