    basically undo all the screws with a phillips head screw driver or drill attachment..
    now i sandblasted mine caus i have one at work and powdercoated it in Flame red with a high gloss overcoat.(see in my pics) you can start with a coarse grit wet and dry and work down to polish it. may take a while unless you use powertools.
