I have a black one  :-\

Bob_Acid:
Chrome only on the 280x but white on the LPX  :daumenhoch:

Looks like a good un Craig!

bodamus:
Leave it as a true survivor original chrome, an acid bath might be an idea may help a liitle.

build it with used parts to factory spec.

Too many survivors get ruined with new paint jobs in my opinion and loose all sense of history.

R Al:
Nice 280 (X's little brother), looks pretty original, the MX1000's F & R are and addition thought only had a rear 890 plus they did only come in chrome.  Had one from Alan's in 83 but by the time I'd had him upgrade it, it was a 400  :LolLolLolLol:

ozone:
I know this might sound crazy but after an OA bath or whatever would it not be possible to buff up the bare metal (where the chrome has fallen off) with a polishing wheel?  I know it wouldn't be as shiny as chrome but it would look better than the rust does but would still have a rat-like quality about it. ???
