How much paint's on there mate?
If it's just the finish, might be able to get some-one to sort it with a Machine polisher...
If he's about at the pod I can ask him to have a look?
Been here with a mate and his bug, wheeled it out the booth and he wanted to burn it, finish was like sandpaper! But a long weekend with mates and some Wet&dry, machine polish and was all good!
