   i did it mate and mine have turned out pretty much perfect. except for a hair that fell out my head and got stuck in the paint while it was wet
   
   not a hard job at all, just take your time and leave it 24 hours to dry bewteen layers i.e. primer, 24hours later colour, 24 hours later laquer.
   
   sand between coats to give a shiny and glossy finish at the end
   
   oh and work through all the grades of sand paper on your primer, dont skip a grade.
   
   no rush
   
   thats mine:

   yeah as above really. i did mine black to save me the £150 that i was being quoted.
   
   took me about a week but i got the texture as smooth as you like. as robbo said don't skip a grade.
   
   its all about the preperation work in fairness mate.
   
   and remember to lacquer them up real good, this does give them extra shine, but also prevents them from chipping and pealing.
   
   mine have been great for a good 5/6 months now mate
