My decals are here my decals are here
Closing in on sending my 87 Paramount off to the painter. I am doing a century this weekend then Monday will strip down the frame and deliver it for paint(found a local guy). After toying with the idea of doing something with panels, I decided to go with original single color design with one of the original colors. My wife likes yellow (less common) but my heart wants "ferrari red". Now I just need to decide which "ferarri red" to use, since there is more than one, per attached http://www.ferrari-collection.net/co...ari_colors.htm. I kind of like the darker reds of the last one in the list of reds -- rosso mugello -- and the first one -- version of rosso corsa. Some of the other ones seem to have a bit too much orange for my liking. That said, hard to tell from pics. I am not going to try an match precisely the original schwinn version of the color, I just want an approximation.

That's a great page. But ...I got so mesmerized looking at Ferraris I forgot your question.
Corsa red is my vote. I really like the ultra dark green tho'. Verde Inglese |
Rosso Barchetta

The Yellow can work, but with all the recent Tour leader bikes in yellow, I tend to shy away from it. The cost of red paint may scare you though. Hopefully the painter has a mixing station. For fun reference the Lamborghini pearl orange if you want to be surprised by price. |

I'm with him.^ Moving Pictures on a loop on your mp3 player while you ride. Awesome. Just saw them in concert a month ago. They were fantastic. |

I did a bike in leftover red from an Enzo repair. Yes, it looks amazing, so you can't go wrong with the darker reds.

This is the kind of spontaneous publicity- your decals in print- that MAKES people. Your decals in print. Things are going to start happening now...

Who else plays Test Drive Unlimited? I have the PC version, & it's excellent. :D The Enzo Ferrari is among the better cars, for sure. I like the Pagani too, and of course Maserati.
