.....paint to present chrome panels on tubes?
Specifically, the headtube and downtube.
Bike is all original and not bad paint. Just a few paint scrapes.
I'll get closer pics of the areas in question on the Bottecchia, in a day.
Main concerns with removing paint are:
A sharp definition line on the edge of the paint.
Finish on the newly exposed chrome. (again, 72/73 Bottecchia GdItalia)
Will I like it's 'uniqueness'?
I'm leaning in one direction on this, but still asking for opinions.
Especially visual inspirations.
I don't have a chrome bike - and this is not the one to go full chrome, IMHO.
Is going chrome panels a poor substitute???
(sorta like a Speedo at the chrome nudist colony).
