I’m not a painter so I’ll probably have to use rattle cans for frame, swing arm center & kick stands & then I also have the triple trees. Wondering the consensus, Thanks
I did clean up & sanded with 003 steel wool.

Personally I would have it professionally painted including all black components such as battery and tool boxes, pegs, stands, bottom tree, horn bracket, brake light bracket and swing arm. Top triple tree in satin/semi gloss.

I agree with KP. Though I dont know your plans for the bike, you will get the most value and the most protection with proper paint.

 Thanks guys, cleaning up the smaller bits, I forgot about the horn bracket::) I took this completely apart 10 yrs ago & dug out a pan of  black parts  that  got messed up sitting! I just ordered an ultrasonic cleaner to try & might try a homemade plating for the hardware? I read somebody did it…I think Terry from Australia iirc was very successful:) aI have an old plastic cooler & a battery charger! :)
