Schwinn Paint
Numerous years ago I needed to paint my Paramount to fix some damage. I got the touch-up paint from the shop I worked at back then. Man...It was some great paint. Matched the frame perfectly and dried and hardened very quickly. When I was done, I could not tell where the repair was made.
Now I am sure that this paint is not made anymore due to the heavy solids and the changes in paints over the years. But... Is there any substitute for this paint? Or maybe NOS Paint?

Pete at Hyper-Formance has new paint in original colors (not all of them unfortunately as he leans heavily towards the Sting-Rays). You can find NOS paint on eBay and the Schwinn Forums sometimes.

I have a can of Opaque Blue that I hope is still good ... (but if not, it was cheap)
