Fuji Ace color?
Originally glossy black, but I am not sure what color I am going to finish with.
I am undecided about what finishing color to use. Originally glossy black, but I am thinking a semi-gloss bluish gray would look nice. This is a my first spray paint job. Another option, since I have cans on hand, satin finish black. That may cover up any imperfections better than a glossy finish. Any thoughts from anybody? AARGH, The famous finger in the pic

recall seeing an ACE of 1971-72 in a LBS showroom back in the day
it had a striking livery of gloss black, chrome, purple and a third colour of pin striping
gave the appearance of a show machine one might encounter at a trade event

If it were mine, it'd be a transparent candy color over silver. A candy cranberry red would look awesome

I used Rustoleum Metallic for My Fuji. https://spraypaint.rustoleum.com/en/products/metallic I haven't been able to find the red or green in stores, just the Cobalt Blue and black, brown, gold tones. It was dull before I sprayed the clear, after the clear went on, it really pops. I was trying for something close to Fuji's Rainbow Blue.
