Pinarellos are notorious for faded peeling paint jobs and bad stickers, they have nickle plated tubing which the paint doesnt like to adhere to and their frame decals are always flaking off, its rare that you dont see a Pinarello with that affliction.
Either way I'd much rather own a chip piainted Pinarello than just about any other bike. As a matter of fact I'm riding my Pinarello Gavia up a few hills today.
