YES: pix, please!

If decals are present that often is best clue, but there could be other good ones like the style of BB shell ( Cinelli SCM or CCM, or "spoiler"?) plus the brake bridge and especially if it has the 10 Speed Drive "little rider" engraved (cause then you might find a match in one of their catalogs).

Also the panto on the forkcrown can be a clue, subtle changes made in that over the years, plus other details to the seat cluster and lugs.

As far as paint by far the most common for frames imported to the USA was "Anthracite" metallic gray but it was used on more than one model and for several years (or more).
