Beautiful Paramount. Don't forget to post pictures of the Trek after the paint cures and you build it up.

The original color is red. Nothing special. It was a bit too "bright" for me so I gave it 4 coats of Bullseye amber shelac. It seals the tape from dirt and moisture and also marks the base color darker.
