    The caustic soda is in small beaded pellets about 2mm round so it is less likely to blow onto your skin or face. You need to dilute it in water according to the directions on the label in a plastic container big enough to emerse the fascia in and let it soak for a couple of weeks. This strips all the paint from the fascia.

    I can get the correct Suede Black and also Portland Grey paint for the GTS fascias in spray cans from my local paint shop for $30 per can and can post them to you if you have trouble getting it locally, just let me know.

    A plastic welder, dremmel tool with an assortment of attachments and some ABS welding rod and plenty of time and patience and you will get them as good as mine. Being good with a spray gun and an eye for masking up comes in handy also.....
