Are we done yet?
Please make phone calls and communicate. If you want what you think is perfect authenticity on a respray please communicate what you want and provide pictures of details to the painter. Keep in mind that actual details changed month by month if not week by week.
Just for example, has anyone ever figured out all the details for Frejus color combinations and the appropriate color changes in the decals? Does the tubing sticker (531, Columbus, Falck or Lubiella) go on the downtube, seat tube or top tube? Where exactly? I have no idea how the original paint shop even got it right. Then you have Mondia ...

\r?\n> I'm sure Bob Freeman treated CR members who went to him with their
\r?\n> precious frames with great respect. But he didn't know I was a CR
\r?\n> member, just some schmuck who bought something from him on ebay.
\r?\n> He
\r?\n> then sold the frame that belong to me without my permission and
\r?\n> lied
\r?\n> about it.
\r?\n>
\r?\n> But the most important issue is his suggestion and willingness to
\r?\n> decal
\r?\n> the frame I had bought INCORRECTLY. If anything had happened, he
\r?\n> would
\r?\n> say the customer asked for it that way. Of course I refused.
\r?\n>
\r?\n> This list has been quick to chasten others who would misrepresent
\r?\n> their
\r?\n> wares, whether intentionally or otherwise, including jerseys that
\r?\n> didn't fit, mis-dated parts and frames etc.
