    Do it yourself mate.....Its really not that difficult as long as you have a little time and patience
    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.
    Cheers

    Nice one
    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
    Looking forward to seeing your post and the end result Red
