Depends what make you have. Valeos are more difficult than depos. Just put them in on a low heat and up it till they start to go slightly soft.

[kingy]

ive seen it in someones build tread but carnt remember who it was.

[Fozzy]

I had them at about 60 i think until they were to hot to leave had on for too long, just keep an eye on them.

hock:

Gd with opening them then! Bastrd of a job to do.

Take your time with them as the key is to gently pry them open, and if you find you're loosing patience with them.. SCCHTOP! take a break and continue else you f*ck up the casing!

[kentiiboii]

Keep thinking of doing mine anthracite but I have valeos :/

[kingy]

any tools i should be useing to prise them apart or is it a case of whatever fits in. oooher mrs.

[kentiiboii]

I'd probably say a small thin flat blade screw driver. As a card would melt.

[Ricky]

Mine are Depo's, but I used a heat gun and flat blade screwdriver.

[kingy]

cheers all, by the looks of it i think its just a case of try it and see.

[kingy]

another queston is whats the best shade to use? gloss or matt?

[Ricky]

I used satin but with a couple of thins coats of laquer. Not sure it makes much difference what you use tbh.

[kentiiboii]

I've seen more people use satin for them.

[kingy]

it looks like satin, shit thats been satin lol.

[kentiiboii]

Lol you can satin, Matt, primer and lacquer for £2.50 500ml can in Alfreton mate.
