juvela 's idea to use nail polish as the color glaze...
I found someone I know and trust that will do a pro paint job on bike frames for me. He's doing my Peugeot PXN10 this Spring in Pearl White and if it turns out as nice as the other stuff he's done your old TdF may just get a new paint job in as close to the original color as I can get. I got decals for my Interclub and they look really good so it's getting repainted too but since it's a solid color I may do it myself.
