If it'* weathering, it might be a good pressure wash job, and not much else. Just be careful with the sensors and ignition stuff.
And don't blame the searching. Blame my memory.

As requested...
Here is a directory of the pictures of my Bonneville'* engine, showing the areas of paint that need to be removed! As you can see, I have replaced the engine cover already (was a metallic red color). Thanks.

Pressure washer is the only thing I can think of.......some of it looks like it'* ready to come off to me. You'll probably have better luck on the plastic parts than the metal stuff, and the airbox and tanks might be cheaply replaced with wrecker units.

So while I'm pressure washing, what should I watch out for on the engine? Some of the parts I may not be familiar with. I don't want to wreck anything. Essentially, is there anything I should avoid spraying?
