Now you're talking money! In some future project I would like to go '50's retro on it with the classic French racing blue with yellow lugs and have JR produce a set of classic 50's style decals. For now though, it'll have to stay orange. It currently has black lug outlines and gold decals on the tops of the seat stays. I've seen at least one picture somewhere of a similar orange Peugeot with gold lug outlines. It looked pretty good. Not sure how steady my hand is with a paint brush though. I'm good with hammers and pliers, ok with wrenches...paint brushes, not so much.
