I recall that nightmare for him, he sold it and may have repurchased it later?

I do recall you had one repainted by Elliot Bay.
I am pretty sure the fellow I sold a Masi to decades ago had them respray his after an arson fire damaged the paint by the melting plastic!

the paint on your sold machine looks very nice.

I have some that need painting... one is a tough decision- only the top tube needs it.
a Medici even, I might attempt to go to the auto paint store and match it, then spray a pump and see how close I can achieve.
if on target, repaint just that tube.

another... probably match and paint a loose tube, then the Fork and the offending tubes if good. Then I have others... they really pile up.
one is a total paint wreck of a Gios, I guess why I purchased it cheap. That one I am building up now and will evaluate how I like it.
