Before you start your project, I would recommend that you take it to an auto paint shop for some free professional advice, and an estimate. If the cost is reasonable (you decide), let them do it.

What you describe has been done.
Yellow Fever did his in Competition Yellow and I've seen Black and Torch Red also.
It's too much for me, I'm going to do it the way the factory did it by using teh forum tech tip.

Re: adding color in the interior (Rich_01659)
I used the spray can of DipIt. The black doesn't quite match, it's a shade blacker than the Dulso. Easily noticable in bright light. Also, I used 3 coats and it's starting to get nicked up a bit after about 5 months.
I don't think I'd recommend this for a permanent solution.
I may try it again with 6-8 coats, but I don't think it will stop the nicks from starting it pealing again
