Colnago Sport Before & After
Gotta show it off.
I got this early 80s Colnago Sport frame from @randyjawa a while back. I painted it with auto 2 part, built it mostly with Ultegra 10 speed and gave it to my grown daughter. She wasn't quite sure about the yellow tape.
My other daughter really liked the yellow. This will be her first road bike. I wish I took more, better pictures but I got these.

I remember when Randy was selling that! Wow, did you ever give her a new life; that's a fantastic rehab job 
Thanks for sharing the process and final pics. Nice to see a frame go from one Forum member to another and end up like this!

Yep I finally figured out giving them to the kids increases the forgivable budget a lot! Win win!

stunning!
I'd change a few small things though (when they need changing)
bar tape: get a honey brown tape that will match the Brooks saddle.... yellow is going to get dirty very quickly even if you wear gloves
cables: change them to brown to match the saddle and the brown bar tape
brake/shifter hoods: I'd go brown to match the rest
water bottle: I'd buy a Klean Kanteen reflect stainless steel (polished version with the cage) with a sports top
pedals: Shimano PD-A530 (clipless on one side and platform on the other)

Great job! 
I think the brand name may have been NASON Paint.

Thanks
Thanks
It's a tiny bit dark when next to my 82 Superissimo, but I took my best shot after being a total pest to the guys at the paint store while deciding.

How is the paint job on the Colnago now if I may ask? Are there a lot of chips already or not? I heard from somebody else that if you repaint a frame yourself, the paint will get chipped very quickly..

Very nice job. It's ready for another 35 years before you will need to think about another facelift.

If its done correctly throughout the whole process of sanding, primer, paint and seal it can last for years to come. Small nicks and scrapes are common from normal use

The good thing about repainting a frame yourself is that touch-ups are a breeze, assuming you saved and set aside some paint for that purpose.
Love the color of that red, it's almost a "blood red" metallic. Would look good on any vintage frame especially with chrome.
