Don't go to Vespa of Sherman Oaks then. You'll be buying a new scooter.

It is a beautiful nice color. How long it took to strip the Vespa to get it painted and put back together. Guessing that wasn't cheap either in terms of money spent.Job well done.
It is gorgeous looking. Now just keep it in that pristine condition use harly wax

Awesome job mate. Color is amazing. Only thing missing is a plug for the front wheel. The center plug of the Gilera Runner looks like a direct fit...

Thnks

it took me less then 2 hours to strip the Gts , then a good they to get is sand en prepped for paint. then a day to get it painted and then a 4hours build up to get it back together .

It wasn't cheap but worth all the money in it Scooter emoticon it came out great and I'm totally loving it Laughing emoticon and now I have to keep it in this condition. thanks for the link because I definitely need something like that.

I took my MP3 wheels off to get them repainted in gloss black.
and this is how they look now after a new layer of gloss black with my new tires and stickers and my custom ZELIONI valve stem

Nice looking mirrors, I feel they would be a problem for me as my shoulders are wide. Doesn't detract from how good they look.

This new pain scheme got so deep under my skin that I actually dreamed about it last night.

Ok, it was also the last thing I looked at, on my phone, in bed, before going to sleep, but still: just stunning!

From the videos it looks like a very (very!) thin, single coat of the green over the black...? That's some pretty skilled paint application.

Anyway, this may be the coolest modern Vespa I've ever seen.

From one of the coolest countries I've ever visited.
