right peeps ,this was my mk09 purchase

its a 1980 diamonback large pro survivor .......i'v been debating what to do

i really want to do it in candy blue with either gold or red components ,,,,it came red or blue with gold ,,or chrome with red or blue components back in the day

would  it not be the done thing to totally strip the chrome ,after surviving all these years ,,,,

its pretty good nick ,,,with a few thin spots
the dropouts are pretty good aswell ,,,the compressions seem to be just in the chrome

i,v had a word with dan and he can powder straight over the chrome ..so it could always be stripped back

oh what to do  :buck2:

Gashead:
Most would say keep the chrome.... but if you want it Candy Blue.... ya know what ya have too do  ;)

HARORIDER:
at least if you powdered over the chrome and you changed your mind..... 8)
does it look any different or have any disadvantages powdering over the chrome rather than stripping it??

pickle:
Gotta be chrome for me...always loved the old DB in chrome and black  :coolsmiley:
