Welcome to the Bike Forums.

Though certainly none of my business, you might want to ask yourself Should I Paint My Bicycle?

I did paint my first Legnano Gran Premio but not to restored standards...



The one I have now might forever wear its original patina of age. The jury is still out on that decision...



Some of the options, or answers, might surprise you. Were I you, I would submit good quality pictures to the folks here and listen to what they have to say regarding cosmetic improvements.
