Well hope I haven't caused major harm.
Stopped when uncovered the badge.
Lots of coats of paint everywhere. Red enamel, black/gold, white. The reso calf head has at least 2 coats of paint on it???. Tone enhancement I guess.
First question is should I try and take each coat off and attempt to sort what was original? It appears white is the base color but could have been just a primer.
Rim is broken at the seam. Still had a killer sound when I banged on it a bit today
Thanks for any help!!
