What would one even look like? Would it look like a gas giant that's glowing red, along with swirls of gas in its atmosphere like Jupiter? Or would it resemble a star and have a fiery surface like the sun? I prefer to imagine them as glowing gas giants but I don't know how realistic that is.

Gas giants in general are fascinating to me as well, I really hope we send a probe into one of the gas giants with a camera before I die. I'd absolutely love to see what it looks like inside a gas giants atmosphere before the probe gets crushed by the increasing pressure as it descends.

Once it cools down, what sort of matter will remain? Would it have a solid surface one could walk around on?

Not without shredding you due to high gravity and magnetism still.

Ah, that's a pity. I guess I'll just have to continue enjoying them from afar.
