My little brother had this old YYF GM2 and I always LOVED the way it played!

The bad part is it looks like heck! For some reason he sanded the sides with some really coarse sand paper and maybe tried painting it?

So what should or can I do with it to clean it up and make it look GREAT again!?

Should I take it down to a gloss finish? Can I have it re-anodized? What kind of prep. work needs done for these things?

Also, it might even be sweet if I can have some of the old stickers made for the sides maybe. Or even those hubstack nub covers, or new hubstacks in general.

Thanks for the tips and advice in advanced!
