It takes time and elbow power but can be done. T cut. Wash then use a good restore polish

On my red B, the roof was the only part that went pink so wrapped that black, if you had the money, could do something pretty good by wrapping it

Re: Getting the red back red
I was going to save up as have so many bills haha ! What would you say it would cost for someone to wrap it and do a good job ? Was going to keep it red get all the plastic dipped black , and refurb the wheels get it looking smart then start doing different bits like de badging etc

Get an original T cut. Not the colour restore. A good quality wash and some thing like car plan restore polish. Also well worth a good shammy leather to dry it after wash. Halfords will have all you need

Re: Getting the red back red
Is the paint rough to touch? It looks like it was badly rattle canned in its life and might be the reason the tcut didn't work
If your buying, buy some g3 cutting compound and a good polish like auto gym srp
T cut is too harsh tbh the g3 compound is much better and restoring paint

If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway
