I would hope they would want to work with you to get the outcome you want, but at the same time I would be guided to getting a style reflective of what could have been done at the time the frame was made.
If you look at the
1966 catalogue the original finish was one specified by the purchaser.
I wanted a magenta in the flamboyant (semi-transparent so the silver shines through) to be identical to the original 1952 finish, but in the modern 2-pac paints they discontinued the base needed for the magenta as it faded far too quickly and there were lots of disappointed customers. So I opted for the polychromatic magenta for the spearpoints.
not exactly sure what i want in terms of scheme but the poly-chromatic doesn't seem to have yellow, white or red. But that means i would have to use pearl colors to get a little sparkle, but not so much the paint sparkle alone would draw your eyes to the bike. Are the pearl ones the sort of thing i would call "Metallic"?
