Thank you!
Summarizing, first was analyze the original paint to get the same paint color. Then it was cleaned to check all welds. Next step was primer protection and for paint layers good adherence. After 2 thin layers of paint frame was heat treated at oven, very important to dry and to give strength to the color layers. Next step was the decals and finally the last layer of finish coat to protect paint, decals and overall frame surface. I do not remember brands cos it was at my summer home but I will verify next summer as there are some remaining paint and primer somewhere over there..
That frame was and is in perfect conditions.. after 18 years!
