Feels like the presences of original paint has become more important to vintage enthusiasts even if the condition is poor which has made me question getting a vintage frame resprayed.
When I bought this frame someone had already done a restoration job on the downtube, original paint stripped and decal’s replaced but the placement was off and also the colour not a great match so I removed this paint hoping to uncover original paint and decals but sadly not.
I now have a partially striped frame with poor original paint.
The question is do I see this through and completely strip/ respray or try to salvage the situation?
Any thoughts much appreciated!
