I don't know why I hadn't considered clear coating the whole frame after the OA bath. I was stuck in touch up paint world and there are so many trouble spots that trying to hit every spot with touch up paint would be impossible. And bonus, I get to keep the 50+ year old decals/pin stripe. I believe I now have a winter project. thanks for your help!
