The decals may have been spot clear coated (I’m not sure) but there should be no clear coat on the frame. Unfortunately these decals are not very durable when applied to chrome. Luckily there are good accurate replacements available if you ever need them. Ya know, its funny, I’ve got my own pair of chrome Paramounts tale to tell that I haven’t started a thread for yet. You beat me to it, I’ll have to start one soon. I refurbished them both earlier this year and both are from 72 with sequential serial numbers. Both are P-13 9s. Anyway, I’ve got a pretty good idea what lies ahead for you and for me it was a very good experience. Enjoy!
