So, getting some good feedback. I started thinking, could I just tape off the purposely exposed chromed areas scuff sand the existing paint (feathering the chipped areas) and apply new paint directly on old. I plan to have this as a rider, no plans to sell, so I do not need an immaculate paint ... just a good paint. I am not really fond of the current black paint aside from it being rough. Thinking of the early 70s green Gitane TdF. Thoughts on painting over sanded paint?
