When the paint was still tacky I used a razor blade to scrape it off, though some paint remained. Once it completely dried (that VHT paint takes atleast 5 days - I left it for 2 weeks) I used small pieces of steel wood to remove the remaining paint which also polished it up quite nice.

Holes are for a custom Oil air seperator. I was a bit reluctant to drill holes in it, but found out there was about 3000 XRs that used that style cover so it wasnt as rare I thought.

Nice but where the oil cap goes and nuts, the paint will break up and flake contaminating your oil or blocking up the oil galleries in the upper head
