2000 Lemond Zurich touch up paint
Just picked this up the other day!!
Wondering if any Lemonds owners have had any luck with touch up paint.
I am looking for a "Z" decal as well . One is missing from the top bar.
I will be contacting Lemond as well.
Figured to start here first. I've had such great luck with all the expert experience here.
Thank you.
Appreciate any and all help.

lettering.com has a decal set-up function at the site that is extensive, easy and even fun. You might be able to get something close to the original Z there. I'd go over the painted sections with rubbing compound, light cut, before I tried to match the paint. Nice bike! I love those 853 LeMonds.

I am sure you are loving the ride, these 853s are great. That is a lovely 1998 Zurich is great condition and having the original Selle San Marco saddle with the original logo is amazing. I have been looking for a set of decals as well, I bought one several years ago from a gentleman in France and they were excellent quality but can't find the contact any longer. If you find a set please post your success.

I bought replacement decals for my Lemond Buenos Aires from this seller in the UK: https://wanit.co.uk/contents/en-uk/p231.html
He didn't list quite the colors I wanted, but did up a set per my request no problem. Highly recommended.

Look for things called cherry red. That looks very much like the Rustoleum cherry red, which was a perfect match for my Specialized Allez.

Ordered the decals from above...arrived in 10 days.
wrong size Zurich..my fault...I did not measure.
i measured and asked how much for a few Zurich decals. He said just pay the postage.!!!
He sent 4 !!! A few extra in case of a mistake applying.
Thank you for recommending him.
He is the BEST!!!!
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !!!
