hi bianchigirl yes Im planning to have it professionally painted, from where I live at it does not cost that much It might be a pain to look for correct decals though. Your probably right about putting NOS parts on this frame ill just go for used ones to revive this bike and look for a better Frame to put NOS parts on. You might know someone who has a 53 -54 bianchi in celeste green frame let me know Thanks for the advice.
