Ah, I had my eye on that Quinn! ...But alas had no way to get to it (and realistically nowhere to put it either). My seed of a plan involved lots of shiny mid-80's Shimano 600 and maybe a Turbo saddle. Try T-Cut or waxing the frame before thinking about a repaint - it'd be a shame to lose it's 80's stylings. Even a rub with DW40 and a soft cloth will bring some life back. Also build it up and ride it for a bit before repainting to make sure you get on with it. The cost of repainting won't be easily recouped if you decided to sell it on.
Good luck with the build!
