What paint did you use for the blue
Thanks! Yeah, I couldn't leave well enough alone. I don't like clamped on bits (except for front derailleurs), and really hate bottle cage clamps, so I torched a couple of sets on prior to fininish.
No paint, this was powder coated by Groody Brothers in Kansas City, Kansas. Note that they also do braze-ons, so they'd be a really good option for someone who wanted to do some mods and refinish.
The blue color is a Prismatic color: PSS 6844 Throw Back Blue. It's not an exact match to the original lagoon blue, but two bikes, five feet away, it's hard to tell the difference.
Not the same frame, but here's a side by side comparison.
