Is that Panasonic frame above just painted normally? Or is it chromed underneath with some type of translucent orange type clear coat? (in the US it's referred to as Candy paint)

My frame is chromed underneath the worn paint and was looking into that option...but from what I understand there is a LOT of prep work/labor intensive to do a good job.

Hard to say. Couldn't really find more information about the paint, other than some more pictures. Here is a close up:

You can see some damage and what appears to be an edge around (one of) the chips. Might be chromed underneath? More: http://www.lockedcog.com/bikes/trappin-super-panasonic/

I think they chrome the frame and then put a slightly transparently paint later on top, think there's a name for it but can't remember. Seen it on a few njs frames and a few times on I think razesa frames?
