I recommend delving into Stefan's speedbicycles.ch website for his sensational fotos of Swiss bikes the ilk and era of the multitonal Mondias. To me, the finishes of those bikes in the lates 60s and early 70s were so much like the Tigras, Cilos, and Allegros (and the seldom sung Tornado); all of which were far excelled by such Swissers as the Goldia Hans Mueller (drool, dribble and droop). But there you will find the fade-in-and-out photos and color combos and views of the body parts you are looking for.
I shall try to paint like that myself, soon or someday.
