On your tool bar there's tool with three arrows pointing up from blue surface
or you just write ANALYZE DIRECTION. Then select your object.
Now you'll see a lot of white arrows pointing from your object. Now arrows
pointing inside to your object (wrong way normals). Just press left mouse button on one arrow and it will change the direction (arrows/normal). Then enter. Now it should be alright!

Cheers,

In my experience, sometimes one will work where the other doesn't.

Cheers, hope that helps, Michiel
