Re: {CR} motobecane le champion 1972: paint or powdercoat, or leave it be?

(Example: Framebuilders:Cecil Behringer)



You may want to go to a Pep Boys or similar auto pets store and check the touch up paints. They brush or pen on and there is a huge variety of color. They are hard and polish great. If your good, you can't tell from 4 feet away!

Subject:<= /span> {CR} motobecane le champion 1972: paint or powd= ercoat, or leave it be?
Sent: Fri, Feb 25, 2011 6:24:47 AM =

Hello CR,

I just bought a silver 72 Le Champion frame. = It is in good shape for
its age, but it does have some paint chips, scr= atches, etc. Looks good
from about 10 feet away; and definitely looks go= od for having the
original paint.

Do you all think that I should = bother with a repaint, or just leave it
alone? I have had a frame powder= coated before by Maas Bros in
Livermore CA, and have been fairly happy. = However, it does not look as
smooth as a coat of paint, though probably = more durable.  I can
powdercoat it or have it sprayed.  If I d= o either of these, I need
decals. Although these are fairly readily avai= lable from cyclomondo, I
think it would then have to be clear coated.
What are your opinions?

While we're at it, can someone point me= to a source where I could see
what the original offered colors were?
