Frame is now at VeloPaint.

3 hours detailing the bare metal then it was coated in primer.

PPG ceramic clear coat over satin pearl white, laser red and aquarius blue. Decals from Cyclomondo. Follow the painter on Instagram @bpmhigh

Not traditional Motorola, but better in my opinion.

Build has commenced. More pics to come over time.

I masked the Merckx Spears on a rebuild I did.

Your bike came out great

Most Merckx Paint jobs typically mix flat color with metallic. The Original Faema Bikes were White Pearl Metallic and Flat Tomato red. The Reds on both the 7-11 and Motorola Bikes were flat color.

ADR was all metallic

your original paint looks like the old Lotto colors
