Got an 81 goose that has been sprayed 2 or 3 times, one coat might have been a primer for the first spray job. It came in white with no decals, was originally chrome. You can see the residue of an original shop sticker on the seat post tube. Not sure if new stickers on salvaged chrome is naf or do I go for a total refinish and decals ? Need to get some nitromors to get the stubborn paint off to see what I have underneath. No nonsense from screwfix isn’t cutting it ! I’m also on a budget so what say you guys?

You need Starchem Synstrip mate.  :daumenhoch:
Get it stripped proper and see what you dealing with... but that chrome is looking like it's been keyed though.  :-\

Chilli Rinse:
Thanks for the stripper tip. I feared as much with the chrome, the seat clamp was sprayed too, when I removed it, it was polished unlike what the stripping revealed. Looks like you’ve answered my question, refinish and up the budget 😩

Another question, has anybody powdered the stamped mongoose spiders ? Do you loose the stamp detailing ?
