Yes, the paint and chrome will end up costing more than that but I felt like I was wasting a lot of time looking for just the right frame. I want Kool Orange and I like chrome. Finding a vintage Paramount in Kool Orange with glossy paint and gleaming chrome could take me the rest of my life. So what the heck, I'll just have it done. I totally acknowledge that this is a totally self indulgent project so I'm willing to spend enough to get it right.
Look for pics sometime this Spring.
Cheers,

Hey, if there's anything most of us (certainly me!) "gets" here on C&V, it's self-indulgence! More power to you, podna! (Oh, and I love Kool Orange too.)
