I also took some advice from Ray Dobbins' site, particularly his entry on the Molteni Merckx.
More than an exact match, I wonder about the application technique. For example, consider the heart cutout. I can use masking tape and razor blade to mask the outline. Or I can fill with a fine brush or toothpick, or I can just apply the paint and wipe the borders clean. Is there a preferred technique?
For finer details like the seatpost panto, it seems to me I would have to apply more paint than needed, then wipe it with a clean rag, maybe damp with paint thinner (or water, if water based paint).
