That paint job preceded my ownership but I still think I'd have removed it even if the previous owner hadn't.

Love it. Great choice of colour. Been thinking about getting a beater to learn how to do some of this stuff. Paint, wiring etc.

Don't beat yourself up about it. You probably do something weird with them like play them...

nothing smells as good as nitro venting

Did you take it right down to wood or just to the epoxy?

Down to the wood. There was nary a speck of the original finish left. Had to re-fill the grain.
