don't listen to me ! believe me, i tried the "non-toxic stuff" too which by the way, will kill your lawn in minutes. that aircraft paint remover makes the paint crinkle and fall off in seconds.

the frame looks great! even beat up chrome still looks pretty cool to me. for the rough spots, i would just treat them with a rust neutralizer and either clear nail polish and/or wax over it.

for your seat tube, maybe get a cool decal like randy's bike above. for kicks, you might want to use aluminum foil just to see if any magic happens first.
