First of all, this is my very first time to do the OEM type R style rocket cover. Before i do, i have searched a bit. Here is some something u might need to make that happen:

1. VHT red wrinkle plus paint
2. Paint Stripper
3. Small steel brush
4. sand paper 400 800
5. Sanding Block
6. Gloves
7. Exacto knives
8. painter tape


OK. here we go.

!!!remember !!!
before u apply the paint stripper, take off the rubber gasket, otherwise will destroy the rubber gasket. Also, wear gloves when u do that, it will burn ur skin.

here is the pic after the paint stripper using steel brush to take off the old paint.
quit nice huh?

using sand paper 400 first, then 800. clean it, then using hit gun, u guys can skip the hit gun section. point less. lol

using painters tape cover the spark plug holes and other small holes. And now u can apply the painting.
