Hello Cabers - I gotta start somewhere so I am looking for advice on weather to continue to slowly remove the silver paint on this Dayton or just soda blast and start from bare metal. Also should I remove the head tube badge if I repaint? I have seen a photo of one after removal and it looked pretty ugly on the backside. Shawn, I read your notes and obs every time I get on the site. Thanks for the good work putting that together. I'll be able to quote it word for word by the end of this project.
Looking at the photos you can see the problem areas. Is it worth saving the original paint?
Those nuts on top of the fork braces come off/ unscrew correct? That yoke at the top is going to need some attention and I was going to wire brush the rods to get rid of the flaking chrome and put a clear coat on them to keep from rusting. If I am doing something wrong please let me have it. I value all good info. Thanks - Mike
