I just sent a perfect Colnago to the painter to be stripped and will be painting it with my company name and my logo on the head tube. Inappropriate and stupid to you, but it make sense to me. If I think its stupid, then I wouldn't be doing it would I? To me, it IS well worth it. I raced on that bike for two seasons
Did it devalue the bike? Probably did. I wouldn't have done it. I wouldn't advise doing it.
Your bike, though.
I'm sure you improved the paint in the process. The Italians never were very good at it.
