If it were me:
Get it laquered - do not touch the frame up any further unless you can get exact copies of the original decals.

I absolutely agree!
I wish I knew where to get that paint..it was called Zolatone, but the company only seem to make industrial splatter stuff these days. :cry:

Spooky!
the paintwork is actually really badly chipped all over and has faded from a pillar box red to orange. i can understand keeping it original if it had a nice patina but it just looks like its a bit knackered.
i was thinking about getting it done a pastel turquoise with replca stickers and silver components.
If i wanted to upgrade cmponents what was the shimano xt model no of that era and what bar stem combo would be in keeping?
