paint ideas?
recently purchased an 84 trek 500, it had a bunch of rust spots, a lot on the top tube, around the cable guides, i was able to sand around the guides and prime all of the spots, but now im trying to figure out what i should do to match the paint... its a pewter silver with a red logo... any ideas thanks...

Have you tried nail polish? I get some funny looks but I have toted a frame or two into the local CVS looking for ta match.
if the areas are try try auto touchup or model paint.
