If it is that they look flakey it's not difficult to scrape back/ rub down the old lacquer and re-lacquer with a spray can

Sand it down with some wet and dry, then either re-lacquer it or get some this

Apply it with a brush use a non hair-loss brush. The epoxy has to be measured correctly to set I used to find a 40:60 mix worked well

Mine are currently unlaquered, is this a problem, will they degarde as a result?

I like the look of the raw carbon.
