Also, I think from a previous post I read on Razesa they probably used a type of painting where the whole frame is chromed and then painted over with a sort of semi-clear gloss thing? Does this sound right, and if so does anyone have an idea how to try and clean/ repair/ possibly repaint it?
Chromovelato is what I was trying to think of. I think the bike has this finish as it seems extremely shiny where the finish is gone and it's peeling in a way that I haven't seen paint do. If this seems correct, does anyone know how to remove it, or at least clean and touch it up?
