Do it yourself mate.....Its really not that difficult as long as you have a little time and patience:beerchug:
You really can do as good a job as some of these refurb places for very little money and get a sense of self satisfaction

Thanks for that, you weren't joking, it really does look that simple.
I should be able to get the Wurst paint cheap aswell, family in the motor industry. I'll defo give this a go. Pick them up on Thursday and keep you guys updated.

Nice one:D
Just remember Red,there are a few keys to doing this job well. Make sure you do use the Wurth paint ( it really does make the difference )
The end result depends on the preparation, so fill any imperfections and sand, sand, sand, sand and sand some more for the perfectly smooth and shiny end result:approve:
Looking forward to seeing your post and the end result Red:beerchug:
