I've scraped and sanded and it's looking a bit better, but I do think I'll have to get the paints out. I might give it all a spray with some tinted clearcoat first, otherwise it's going to be difficult to match the colour properly. I did spray some on in a patch and it made it a lot redder and brighter.
Now stripped the neck down and stained that as well. . I'm grateful for the good weather we're having at the moment, but it's hot work sanding in the sun. About 26°C in our back garden in the shade, so not bad for early May.
And the smell of BBQ is coming from all directions, and with me on a diet. It's very distracting.
