View Full Version : repaint my Paramount, or not?

I have an orange '77 Paramount road racer and I am trying to decide whether to repaint it or not. The paint on the frame is in pretty good shape -- some nicks here and there but nothing serious. The fork has some pretty major flaking though. It has some very funky decals that I like very much, though Waterford says they can probably replace them if they repaint the frame. So I am struggling with whether I should just patch up the fork and ride it as is or take the plunge and repaint. Pros? Cons? Fire away...

First decide how important the "funky decals" are to you.
Then you can paint away on just the fork.
