What a beauty! I assume that’s not a 35 year old paint finish? Love the switchblades too, perfect!
No. Paint was re done about 6 or 7 years ago.

As a tribute to '92's Team Marin's MTB, I've re-erected this '96 Marin Sausalito.
Ever since I got into the 'older stuff', I've liked the color scheme.
Zolatone appeared to be a kind of paint, instead of a kind of of grey.
Unfortunately the neon orange did not cover up all too good but then again; the bike itself as a whole is far from perfect.
Fitted with anonymous cranks, a dura-ace derailleur, XT 9sp shifters and Schwalbe roadspeed tires, this thing goes!
But does it brake? Despite the fact that these XT V-brakes do brake well, they seem to be mounted in a strange, wide way .... We'll see.
It was also a first attempt to make decals with layers of paint.
And also the 3D printed chainguard was a first.
