looking good. MY fav road bike. What paint job?

 

[ctronzo]

well; as i will get hammered by all of the old school purists.....
going with PPG Portafino metallic blue..which is as close as I can get to the old Imron color of Ice blue.
dark blue 'K' on the head tube....
wanted something different......and with those big tubes, I think it will look stunning....
more pics to post as they roll in from the painter

i love threads like this!
is that the final colour or are you going for something more exotic?

first coat of paint.
then wet sand, paint. then the clear coat.
then back to me for the built out.
the color will be more apparent once it is the daylight.
