I bought a crate motor off a guy who sprayed the heads black. Is there any good way to take the paint off? They are the corvette L98 heads and I wanted the aluminum look. So is there a good way to do this or should I just buy some of the aluminum looking paint out of the eastwood catalog and respray them?

I have the same heads and they were also painted. As stated above, use paint stripper to get the paint off. Use a good automotive based stripper thats thick. Took about 45 minutes or so per head. Then get them bead blasted and they will look like new.
