Sounds like an exciting project. I raced one of these (slowly) back in the early 80s. Here's what I would do if you are in the Midwest. Look up Chris Kvale at this link/site. Shoot him an email and discuss this project. I was riding in the western Twin Cities area this past weekend and met a guy who had an original Chris Kvale bike. He had it recently repainted by Mr. Kvale and I must tell you it was beautiful. Try this link:

He has a thorough section about the entire process on his website, including paint matching options/choices. I met Chris at a local bike swap and he seemed like a very nice fellow. One thing is for certain, he builds some of the most beautiful frames I have ever seen. No, I don't work for him. I have heard his is a one person shop and he does the whole shebang.
