It's a big job to do all of them but it's the only way to get rid of it - or spend $400+ on a chrome set or the powder-coated ones which you can get in all types of colors.
I polished the alternator, sprocket and clutch covers, but couldn't see how to polish the cam covers, so it got powder coated black.

Any hints of how to do the narrow access areas of the cam cover?
