try the mothers clay bar system and spend a few hours playing by hand,i did this to the wifes ltd after i bought it at auction,the colour looked a light brown and flat,after using the clay for a long time on one panel the colour changed to gunmetal and the clear polished up like glass\really slick to touch,then polish it.the best i did was 1 part after work each day,you have to remove the contamination layer to reach the new layer,with out cutting excess paint off.for the machines try ebay----i picked up 6 speed rotarys cheap, but i am a tool collector.

Thanks Hans

I might just try that and see what happens. Might save some dollars in the process.

any progress ON THE PAINT RD? wanting to see results.

Not yet Hans, concentrating on getting it running first. When I have it blue slipped I'll attack the paint. Only started doing something before because I was waiting for bits and needed a change
