Hi Noel,

    I know, I know, you're right I should do just that. I submitted the
    post the other day, asking for suggestions, in the hope that someone
    on the list had previously repainted faux pearls and that there may
    be some good suggestions. I planned to wait until I received the
    replies but in the end I cleaned them. As soon as I'd cleaned them
    and they were sans their coating, I thought to myself that I'd
    probably bitten off more than I could chew and that I should have
    just turned the job down. However, I've now gone too far to go back
    and I don't think I can make things much worse than they already are. 


    I've got a few other things to finish first and a jewellery fair to
    go to but will attempt the next phase of the project later on next
    week. I'll report back to the group as to how it went, and hopefully
    I'll never be asked to attempt such a project again.
