Hey guys, just got a 80s crazy pink daccordi. The whole frame is nickel plated underneath the pink paint. The chainstay is chrome and so is the forks but its totally covered in thick rust. I've started work on the forks and used rust remover and autosol, still have some rust to deal with. I've come to a conclusion to just do a powercoat on the frame. I really want to keep the chrome chainstay, what should I do? Should I remove the rust my self or let armourtex blast it off(would that blast the chrome away too?)
Lastly, anyone wants to powercoat gold? I'm thinking something between a champagne gold and yellow gold.
