Original paint layer? - paint expert advice appreciated

Hi all,

I just bought a Marinoni track bike that has a bunch of layers of paint. A bit of sanding and scraping around lugs and bottom brackets have revealed a couple colors, which I think are easy to eliminate.

I'm curious if anyone can help determine which layer is primer/sealer and if the original color was white or a base for a higher luster top coat.

The layering goes - dull reddish brown (I assume this is the original primer and sealer?) White. Either a base coat or original color which is quite possible. Purple frame with yellow head tube and fork. Purple seems to be the hardest thing layer of paint. It seems more like automotive paint than the Blue or top layer. It could have been a respray over white paint. There is over spray on bearings. This is definitely not original. Then the final sad layer of purple and pink fade.




What do people people original color scheme was:

All White

Sparkly purple with a yellow fork and head tube (likely seat tube stripe)
