>This subject is an offshoot of the Bertoni info I requested and concerns
factory chrome-plated frame and forks that are also painted. I suspect that
vintage Paramount frames are also fully chromed and later painted. To me,
this
would explain the translucent metallic look of both my Bertoni and
Paramount. I
don't want to scrape the paint off the Paramount to find out but has anybody
seen under-paint finishes on 60's-70's Paramounts? If chromed, is the
finish
nice enough to expose or was it not polished in anticipation of later
painting?
