Yeah Id end up painting the "socks" myself.
And yeah, never thought of getting a broken track frame and doing it that way!!
Josh-
I actually have some old campy track ends back in Denmark you can have if you are not in a rush. I need to get stuff send over here eventually, but I want to pile up to save money.

@josh you should get some of these conversion dropouts maybe
Hulsroy
If you were to get your dropouts swapped I think you could get away with removing paint only at bottom of the stays where the frame is painted white (it looks like it is wearing socks lol). After being welded on you could just paint the socks back on and you would save money on the conversion. For dropouts you could get hold of a damaged track frame and cut off the dropouts, remove the paint and leftover stays and brass. This way you only have to pay a frambuilder to swap the dropouts. Maybe you could even paint the socks on yourself?!
