I just got my Pinarello frame in yesterday. The Roadie forum seems to think the paint is just fine and to not change it but it's not original, it's scratched up and chipping, and somebody did some crude handpainting that has just go to go.









I bought a set of Pinarello Treviso decals in black lettering but can get a set in white lettering if the paint scheme calls for it.

Being an Italian bike, the colors red, white and green would seem obvious. I think I'd like the lugs highlighted in some way. Not outlined but a different color than the frame.

Any suggestions?
