I saw your post on FixedVan and stole the pictures to post in the Bike Porn thread.

Completely Restored C40 58cm - New Professional Paint - Only signs of wear are on the chain and Brake levers
Record Carbon 10spd gruppo,with Carbon Record Crank, Colnago Carbon Seatpost , Very lightly used Tufo Sew ups on Perfectly True Reynolds Carbon Wheelset
I bought this bike 10 years ago and really only rode it for 2 years. I got into mountain biking and motocross and just lost interest in the road but couldn't bear to sell it.
This bike looks and rides great. I worked painting custom harleys for about 3 years so I know what I'm doing. I put 2 coats House of Color semi gloss clear coat down, ]sanded that with 1000 grit then applied 3 coats of the PPG red basecoat, sanded that with 1000 grit and then put on 3 more coats of clear. I used a 3m turbine HPLV gun and it looks perfect. The only decal is the badge and it was applied after the paint. The logos are all carbon weave coming through the red basecoat. No smudges,
fingerprints or dust in the paint. I went with the much more expensive HoC semi gloss because it gives the paint job more depth. Looks fantastic! Thanks for looking and good luck!
Must see bike that I have over $9k invested in. You can own the Ferrari Daytona of bikes for less than $3k
