Peter,

Based on your success with the silver, I'd like to ask you a related question. I have a 1980 Masi painted in the light blue metallic color. This color can be seen on the CR Masi USA page, http://www.classicrendezvous.com/USA/Masi_usa_main.htm, on Scott Ramsay's bike.

The question is, have you ever matched this color, and if so, what was the match?
