Charles,
So what issues do you have with the paint? Thickness? Gloss? I don't want to beat up on anyone either but I am curious as to what objections you may have. I agree that it's a little on the thick and glossy side. Some may not find this desirable on a restoration but on a new KOF I guess it's whatever floats your boat. I've had a couple of high-end restorations done and they do not look like this Colnago. However, they don't look anything like the way they left the factory either. I think it's up to the customer to inform the painter what look they're after. BTW, I have a Weigle and Kvale KOF and the paint on these is more old fashion, traditional, thinner, less glossy, etc., take your pick.
