Yeh i saw the workshop articale, and was trying the hairdryer routine, wasnt having any joy, although i must admit patience isnt my greatest virtue, perhaps now ill wait a bit longer with the hairdryer,
As for salvagable, at the moment the one that is brown bread is back on the lex and will do until i get another one.. thin i may get the smoked whilst im there.. but at least i can experiment and see what the paint finish on them would look like...before i do the front..
