If you do find someone, I'd be keen to know.

I'd like to find someone who can make white tanks, white again, rather than dull yellow.

Its not hard to do, just time consumung, plenty of info on here. There's a guy on the vmx restorers group on facebook who does it, not sure how much he charges though.

You won't get the yellow out of a white tank, it's fuel and oil staining that is all the way through the plastic.

Hi Paulos & bazza,
                             Understand it can be done just takes time, patience & a bit of hard work. At the moment I am time poor, so I was looking to see if I could afford to pay someone to do it for me.

Thanks for you advise.

Not sure where this business is located but looks like they're the guys you're after Stewart.
