I know some of you guys don't flinch at a repaint, but coming from the vintage BMX crowd, I'm a lot more partial to original paint,
and would much rather have a "patina'd" frame with some character (ie rust, dings, etc) than a shiny new coat of modern paint or powder.
That being said, I just picked up a frame with the sole intent of repainting it in "team" colors...
It's really pretty rough, and I know I shouldn't care, but damn I'm already struggling with the strip...arghhhh.
I'll post up some pics tonight if I can and see what you jackals think.
