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.
Paint pens my good man much easier to control than a brush for us less steady of hand. The powdercoat job on the mixte was under a hundred bucks
