Hi Well, I guess those psychology courses finally paid off today ;-) I hit on the correct combination of incentives to pry a Urago frameset(Yes Jeeves, it does have the spades on the sides of the fork crown ), my size and in nice condition, out of the hands of my boss! So, I was down in the basement, cleaning the paint and chrome of dirt, grease etc, wondering what other people recommend to treat a few small paint blemishes that are starting to rust. Also, a couple of small chrome blemishes that are also starting to rust. I am aware that there may be a variety of answer out there: "Respray and rechrome" to "do nothing, maybe paste wax"......and I will just have to distill the wisdom of the list, then "do the right thing". Let me say too, that the frameset _could_ be made pretty close to immaculate with the correct touch-up paint, and I was thinking Naval Jelly to kill the chrome rust, followed by clear nail polish.
