The colour coding sounds like a great idea! That might be my first major thing I do.

Does anybody have any links to how this is done, How-To's on how to paint and get rub strips, skirts and handles off etc?

I don't have the slightest idea how to get any of it off haha Click here to enlarge

Also would I be better off getting it done by a professional? Just preping it all myself with plastic primer and what not and sourcing the paint myself?

I haven't any experience painting what so ever lol Click here to enlarge
