Well I'm gonna look up a shotblasters here in Bridgy to see if they'll laugh at me! I think it's feasible to finish them off by hand once they're totally removed of paint - but it's gonna need quite a bit of high build primer to get them to the same 'thickness' as the originals...

I'm such a dick for doing that - shoulda just sanded the crap bits out... But noooooooooo, Bazzer's gotta feckitup fullon.....  :angry:
