Original chrome or refinish.

meticulous:
if you apply candy coloured laquar to that all the scratches will show through the candy,  I know as I've tried it...  :'( :'(

the candy I am talking about is the tints that go into the laquar,  not the basecoat pearls (that can look like candy laquar) you often see on painted bikes...

but yes my guess too is that its been keyed ready for paint with a sanding disc...

chubby:
I agree with terry that nice survivor bikes are cool & have a couple on the go myself. problem with this one is the downtube is quite bad, while the rest is ok.  think you could go to the trouble of building it & trying to hide most of the damage & it'll still piss you off . In this case I'd take the blue option sean  :daumenhoch:

Munnyella:
if it was survivor/riding damage, i'd say keep it, but its been raped on purpose, there is nothing regarding its history in that damage, paint it!

factory pilot:
It needs redoing mate.... as others have said it's not a survivor damaged beast so nothing will be lost :daumenhoch:

oberonspacefruit:
Have you tried using a high speed bench polisher, working through the grades of paste and mops? in my experience that has brought even the dullest of surfaces back to a mirror finish. the only problem is that you are left with a slight line, where the chrome plate ends. that may be covered with decals though. id deffo mop it first, before powdering it.
