When I bought this frame, there were some little rust spots under the paint, so I decided to take off the paint (just on the rusted spots) with sandpaper, than I repainted the spots.
The frame set has a nice red/white paintwork, but after the paint corrections it wasn't perfect.
That's why I decided to paint the whole frame set. I chose the classic pink style, and I painted on top of the red/ white paintwork.
Now, I make up my mind to sell it and I removed all the paint, because it was not the original, and some people (like me) love to see the truth, what is under the surface, what is the exact condition of the frame.
The funniest thing turned out during the paint removing process, the frame was pink/white originally :) like I painted.
The red/white was a perfect, well detailed, old paintjob with original decals, but it wasn't the original factory paint job.
