...what have folks found that matches the '72 Schwinn Paramount metallic silver?

Also, I just ended up with a '74 Jeunet 640 (this is the pretty sweet all-Campy model). It *really* needs paint (says one who's never opted to repaint anything before, except a garish Team Saturn red, white, and blue monstrosity whose paint was perfectly fine, just offensive), and the decals are long gone (probably removed by somebody who appreciated a more subdued look than was standard on the Jeunet). Does anyone know where I can get transfers for it? They're printed on silver mylar, unless a close look at the catalog Dale's hunting for proves otherwise.

Anybody else have one of these Jeunet's in their stable? It rides nicely, and looks to have had a reasonable paint finish back in the day, although it sported some fat pinstripes (nailstripes?) that I don't fully understand. Oh, and seemingly typical of French bicycles of this vintage, no files were harmed in the making of this frame.

The guy I got it from remembered it to be a Peugeot, but many years had passed since it had (for him), any identifying characteristics (the Jeunet-stamped (beautiful) Pivo handlebars were a giveaway, under the mounting bracket of a long-lost bike computer).
