Thanks Auchen. I'm not familiar with Scratch-X but suggestions are welcome. When I started messing with a section where the paint was damaged, it barely took me touching it for more to flake off the bike. It seems to me that if it could be "scuffed" and a layer of clear placed over the original paint, it would probably be fine, but I'm sure that is costly and IANAP (I am not a painter) so my analysis is likely flawed.
In any case, the bike is super nice notwithstanding the paint issue. I'm trying to place the year, but am clueless with the exception of knowing it is a Birmingham bike and preceded the TI merger with Raleigh.
