I thought that it would be something different. If I dont get a nice colour for it, may just strip the decals off it & some different wheels.

I may be after the interior, see how it goes.

clear nail varnish remover mate, i recommend stripping it down to the shell before you do it as it makes plastics go sticky and the windows fog up.
just dab a bit kitchen roll or something in a bit and do a little bit at a time, dont press down hard just wipe over the surfaces

acetone and non-acetone probably,
