Ah yes because 3 months of UV light in Scotland between now and November will make a massive difference to how they are now :thumbs:

But the chip fat in the atmosphere adds a layer of protection to compensate. ...

Could they be sprayed with a modern clear lacquer to protect them from uv rays? I'm no paint expert but it stops the misanos from going pink eh Chunky.

No reason why it can't be coated with a protective lacquer - if you can find one. You'd have to be careful to get a perfect coat though, since it will look (and perform) terribly if badly done.
