If the faces are really bad, consider trying to restore them using chrome spray or gold if they were originally gold.

Ken,
Did you mean Humbrol number 85 not 58, or am I going lysdexic?

Oddjob:
Correct Ian 85 not 58, was going off memory and almost got it right.

Unless you upload a lot of photos it's free. Downside is if close your account then all posted pics will disappear.

In the past I have used the Coloured Turtle Wax polish it's quite effective at hiding paint imperfections - there are other cosmetic paint repair kits that hide marks but never used them. Only downside I have found with the coloured polish is it will wash out eventually. Unlike a car you only have a small area to polish so no biggie.

On none metallic red paint I have recovered some very dull car panels using T cut then restoring with a good quality wax polish then finishing off with Red Colour Wax - even though the red was a differet shade to the polish it worked great on an old Merc W124 saloon.

  Thanks Ted. If it ever stops raining I’ll roll the bike out and take some better pics and see how it goes.
