[MENTION=460171]Shrevvy[/MENTION] - I did leave the DA group on for a number of years, just changed this year. I can say that it is a sweet group. I don't care for the DA crank aesthetics though. There is a Chorus crank with similar design I don't care for either. No dents, all chrome frame set.
[MENTION=531]John E[/MENTION] - It is a lot less effort to keep as is. I already have three frames that need paint, one in primer level now.
[MENTION=46382]bikingshearer[/MENTION] - Some good points that I have considered. Part of "there are plenty of these around" thinking.
[MENTION=546407]RayHenry[/MENTION] - have you done that, and do you have pics and more info?
[MENTION=159681]Bianchigirll[/MENTION] - LOL I think I have one close to that

[MENTION=61707]squirtdad[/MENTION] - I am with you except PC which is dependent on who can do a wet like finish. Actually, I wouldn't consider PC for this one, maybe the Trek 610. 610 was stripped because of a really bad rattle can paint job. I have spray equipment but not a booth. Would need to set up a temporary one. Part of the hesitancy, more work. There are times that the colorway works for me, looks best when new. I really like the appearance of the finish in this pic and the BB too. The bike colors would not look good without the top coat, too bright.

[MENTION=200311]mechanicmatt[/MENTION] - One of the reasons the other Pinarello was stripped was rust under the paint. Same with the Burley Duet. Both in the queue for paint.
