Thank you....its pretty much original paint but most of the parts are newer. I may paint it when I have my van painted but I am not sure I can get those nice original decals. Powdercoating would be my choice but for purists, its not totally the way to do it, unless you want a "rider". I do, so I am not trying to make a show piece. Its nice to see what some folks have done restoring a bike to original like new condition. I prefer to make a bike function and be nice to look at but I don't baby my rides or it would drive me nuts, trying to avoid chips, scratches and dings. I really like the way the yellow bike turned out appearance wise and I plan on some more detailed photos soon. Next project may be a folder or a repaint of my recumbent in some unusual color with the addition of disc brakes.
