    Easy really! sanded them right back to the metal with wet 'n' dry & nitro mors, then bought primer gloss black and laquer from halfrauds! sprayed them over the space of a week, added a pinstripe! badda bing! done.

    do a search on yell.com for sprayshops in or around cleethorpes.

    cant really ruin them mate, its piss easy, im in the process of doing mine,

    just nitro mores one, wait for it to go dry n stuff then sand away for aaages till back to metal, or you could even just sand back to the orignal primer and spray over that.

    its really easy, good guide on here.
