I have a question for you folk if I may; I have an old italian road bike frame (casati) upon which the paintwork is a shot. I can leave well enough alone and ignore (purist option) but I have another idea.
See attached pic/below for ref - the chrome elements on the frame seem to run under the painted bits and I can see (what looks like) chromed metal through some of the chips in the paint....
Is there a chrome baby under all this shot paintwork? and if so could I paint-strip back to a chrome frame underneath? or am I simply wrong about all this and the chromed bits are only in certain places.
I think I'm posting in the right place now
