This isn't one of those bicycles.
I completely understand the OP's desire to "restore" a bike that has sentimental value, but let's not get silly and start pretending its a bike that would be worth re-spraying if it wasn't for the history between it and the OP. Even then... respraying a 25 year old World Sport? I wouldn't spend more than the cost of a couple of rattle cans.
