Thanks mate since the photo I tried to polish some parts of the frame but its quite faded on the top side of the tubes where all the dirt settled on it and I aim to to get the new look again.
Also it was never one of ricardos high end bikes and dont think the original paint quality was very good the only thing that bothers me is losing the original decals.
Just today I striped it to a bear frame and tomorrow will take to a sign writer and see what he says about making stickers or hopefully he can push me in the right direction. Here's hoping.
