brilliant! You have a good thing going with the Paramounts and the goodness coming out of the Waterford Factory. I've found those folks to be super helpful with my 1959 Paramount build. Just got in an a set of decals (of course, they verified the serial of the bike before they would sell them to me from Waterford and it's really sweet that they do provenance reports so you can trace the history of your bike.

Mine is currently bare steel (that silver soldier sure is stunning!) awaiting a dip in copper before I allow a patina to develop and then apply the decals and clearcoat). Of course, to the offense of purists, but who needs another chrome paramount. I figure I'll have this bike for a lifetime and a faithful restoration a long term goal. I haven't priced the 1950's Campy parts lately, have you? Below are the decals, awaiting application.
