    That Magnus is in better condition than mine when I first bought him

    Diggers instructions are pretty good but I will add this:

    All you need is white and silver paint. Clean up the toy as much as you can and only paint the spots where the paint has chipped - Don't paint over existing factory paint. You'd be surprised how much just a few paint chips take away from the look of the toy and covering them up with a paint pen would be enough to bring it back to a decent condition. Your toy is not as chipped as it looks, its a quick paint job to fix.

    If the white plastic has yellowed bathe it in Hydarogen peroxide for a few days but you need to disassemble the figure for this as Peroxide is corrosive to metal.

    Do the same with the silver paint, don't paint all over do only the bits were it has worn. Only paint it all if you can get that magical chrome paint everyone is talking about.

    The next step is to hit ebay for accessories and reprolabels as Digger mentioned
