I'm following this thread because I'm in a similar situation. I recently acquired a Fuji S12-S with rough paint and missing several of the original parts. I could spring for a nice repaint or powder coat, but I don't care for the original color, so I am not planning to keep it original. Right now I am thinking I will paint it myself and upgrade some parts to make it into a nice all day bike. I just got it road worthy, so I may change my mind once I put a few miles on it.
