My dilemma:

I obtained a pair of 7 foot tiki poles from the former Honolulu Restaurant outside of Washington D.C. When I first visited the Honolulu in 1998, these poles were painted in rather bright primary colors. All of my memories of the Honolulu took place when these poles were painted in these colors. I obtained these poles as a final souvenir of the Honolulu.

My question .... Should I keep the bright colors of the tiki poles as they currently exist, and thus preserving the final heritage of the Honolulu? or should I strip the paint, and try to create a more traditional look?

I myself am OK with the look of these poles, and am leaning towards keeping them as is, but am curious to hear of other people's opinions.

strip those suckers!! their original condition is natural stained wood....which would not be in violation of the honolulu heritage....however it would be a violation of your memories.....hmmmmm..choose to keep the memories and the past alive.....or step boldly into the future and give those poles back the look and life they deserve....nay, that they were born with!!!
