Could do with some advice please, have recently bought a fibreglass chair which is in need of some attention. The paint had faded badly and flaked a little and could do with a respray. Is this easy to achieve a good finish or am I better off getting a pro to do it? Obviously have to sand it down etc, and prime but a list of what exactly is needed to be done would be ace

They are mate I have two Ghyczy garden egg chairs, a GN2 chair which is VERY rare and a Panton chair designed by Herman Miller. I run my own business selling retro furniture but do have a number of things in my private collection The course sounds interesting!

tidy original example is worth £7-900. Have to be careful though as Ghyczy novo started to reproduce them a few years back and there are also a number of fakes on ebay.

I don't have an Evo anymore, sold it couple of months back. An it's not my MCR kit



















It's the Combat kit I bought on eBay - thought I'd be original and fit it to my 350z
