I found this paint-job debatable in some key ways. Definitely debatable on a period restoration, and also, really debatable on KOF frames of today. I see many KOF frames with paint like this, and I remain unconvinced.

Have a look, and see what you think.

I'm posting this not to start an argument, so much as raise awareness of the issues that should be addressed when repainting any high-end period frame. Or any frame, for that matter.
