Okay, let me run this past you guys to see what you think. I have a 1961 Ludwig (no serial numbers) keystone badge kit in 14x22, 9x13, 16x16. Great kit, all the parts there, good chrome, mostly round shells, BUT the white marine pearl is so faded in places that you can't tell it's WMP. The top of the bass drum, 2 panels of the tom, and about half of the floor tom all look like they were set up in the bright sun light for several years and the WMP that would be facing one direction is just plain white. The wrap has faded to the point that there is no "pearl" effect in the wrap just an off white color. Is this a situation where re-wrapping is okay? The drums just look bad and even though they sound great they look like a sh!tty old kit. I would like to recover in Precision's 60's black oyster pearl and make a Ringo kit out of them. What do you guys think? I know it's best not to recover if possible but I bought these cheap because they looked so awful. In the picture look at the tom panel with the badge, the top of the bass drum and you can't see the bad side of the floor tom because its turned in toward the throne. Please advise.
