I ended up getting this early seventies Bianchi that I helped my son find and buy. Now, even though it is not the perfect size for me, I have decided to build it up. Decals are already on their way. The problem is, needless to say but I will say it anyway - how do I get my hands on the kind of paint that I like to brush on in a Bianchi Celest Green color..?


With that in mind and having little or no skill mixing paint, I found this paint mixing program on the internet. Now, thanks to the program, I can figure out how to mix he color I want. This is not a good shot of the target color but using the tool it is easy to get pretty darn close to the Bianchi green. Once I have a digital idea of what colors to buy and experiment with, I am willing to bet I can nail a decent facsimile of the original Celeste green. Fingers crossed and will let ya'll knpw how it works...




I intend to try to do so using good old Rustoleum, my brush on paint of choice...


My most recent brush on paint job many of you have already seen, but this is the kind of quality that I can achieve with care and patience....
