Yea nothing that cant be fixed. You dont need to spend anywhere near $500. You just need to use the right sandpaper and depending on how bad they are delaminating, you will need to sand for a few hours.

      Has anyone managed to find a decent clear laquer to recoat them with or does it not need doing once they have been smoothed?
