JB refinished this 90's era Benotto in March 2005 with his Signature Finish. Details included:
  • Saving the existing chrome on the fork and rear triangle
  • Completely stripping the old paint
  • Signature Finish
  • Apply a NOS set of 1980s decals
  • Hand-painting in several detail areas, including on the fork crown
  • Airbrushed "scallop" detail at the paint/chrome boundary
  • Retro Campagnolo decal at the bottom of the seat tube
  • Added a pump peg on the head tube

Compare JB's finish with the factory paint to see what a difference a great paint job can make!
