  Hi Sean,

I used the touch-up paint currently sold by Excel Sports on a 79-ish Gios Super Record, and it was a perfect match.  AFAIK, the Gios blue has not changed.

Hey all.

I'm finishing up what I believe to be a 1982 Gios Super Record. There is no serial so I'm a bit in the dark. I tried emailing Gios with no luck. So I turn to all of you.

First off, I'm in desperate need of a headbage. The original metal, rivet on die cut is missing. All I can find is the new oval shaped stick on ones. If ANYONE has a source. Please let me know.

Second. Has "Gios Blue" changed? I found a source for newer touch up paint, but I'm curious to know if there has been any sort of variation (ala Bianchi) over the years.

Thanks a ton.
