I recently got a Motobecane that had basically been sitting outside for about 30 years, and considered a repaint. However, I got it from the original owner, and I wanted to instead try to honor that heritage. So, I basically spot treated rust in the bare spots, polished the whole frame and then used a 2K clear coat (the kind that is in the spray can, that has the hardener you can mix in, then need to use in 24 hours I think.). Then wet sanded and polished the clear. I took some artistic liberties with the Champion Team decal I added, by mixing the original black script with gold in the bare metal areas. I like it, but others may not...
