wrong section but hey  :grin:, is easy to do yourself youll need wet/dry of several grades primer,paint,laquer. polishing the lip will be harder though and takes alot of elbow grease unless you buy serveral grades of polishing mops and stuff

That ain't to bad then........I'd only make a hash of it anyway lol.......at least if i get them refurbed I can paint them afterwards or maybe just leave them how they are.....the plan is to pop them on next summer anyway. Cheers peeps  :smiley:
