Nice bike, love the color! Sorry but I don’t think I would powder coat a Paramount. Nothing against pc, but anything short of proper paint and decals just wouldn’t be right on that particular bike. I vote to restore it, but not cheap, you could always just clean it up, change out components at will, and just ride it. I would love to buy that bike in that color, just as is, not my size though, or one properly restored. I would not touch a powder coated one. As I said, nothing against powder coating, I have one bike that is, and it looks great, but it’s not a Paramount. Powder coating would simply devalue that bike.
