    You can get kits. It takes a bit to get the hang of it. Ive done a few now they come out ok for a cold blue.

    Thanks guys for the advice, they are well useable as they are now but has a few pit marks , not rust, n look a bit tarnished, but a squirt of wd and then mint for a spell,
    Am toying with the idea is it worth getting them done, as the Aya is lovely,
