The professional repaint job was by far the most expensive part of my 1959 Capo restoration project. For cost and rust (I live 1 km downwind of the Pacific Ocean) reasons, I decided to go for full paint coverage, instead of trying to recreate any chrome plating on the forks, stays, or head lugs. (I have seen Capo Modell Campagnolo frames with and without chromed head lugs, stays, and fork crowns, so only the full-paint fork blades are historically incorrect.) Since the frame is rare and high-quality and had already been repainted once, it was the ideal candidate for a professional repaint job, but I would not be inclined to have any of my other bikes repainted.
