I have three Fujis with chrome frames. A '72 Finest that I did strip but quite was disappointed at what the results were. The chrome under the paint appeared to be slightly etched. I ended up having that repainted and new decals made. My other Finest is a '76 which I left original.
I received a '72 Fuji Newest in a trade from BF member NLerner which had already been stripped. The chrome on that was consistently shiny and polished on all parts of the bike. Very different from the Finest!
