Funkyworm:
Ok,

So I just bought this beauty & was hoping to keep it Original chrome, however as you can see even with an OA Bath the chrome has gone way too flakey in some areas ...

Kills me to do it but i think it'll have to be stripped & Painted ..... Whaddya  reckon ???  This'll stir up some opinions I'm sure.  Oh & forgive the photos, they are showing as the correct way up on (photo-fook-it)

CustardLips:
Can't imagine anyone having any issues with you stripping it... the chrome looks well fooked.  ???

kalex:
Gone beyond keeping as is

Mikku:
I'm a BIG fan of survivors and my favourite bike (my '83 Laserlite) has some bubbling and missing chrome BUT yeah, this looks like it's too far gone, unless of course you wanted to go for that rat-rod, I-don't-give-a-fook, survivor rider look. :daumenhoch:

oldschoolace:
Agree with Mick, I'm a fpunding father of the survivor appreciation society but that's a little too far gone. It wouldn't be an enjoyable build for me because it doesn't say survivor, more neglect
