Hi all.

Inside the seat compartment of my MP3 500 is a sticker for the color code "Rosso 830/A" Is this the same as the Dragon Red for the Vespa scooters?

Thanks.

Top box, front fenders, hand guards, mirrors and belt cover......

Well, what can I say?

The same code, 830/A is on the ID tag under the seat. Brought it to my local car paint supplier, they entered code into their computer, they mixed it according to the info they had, and all good...........

Just found this thread. as can be seen Dragon Red looks nothing like the Fuoco. (MP3) red.........

We just painted an MP3 Dragon Red

So perhaps, Rosso Red is correct.....and Dragon Red is just a "pet" name????????

No that is the right code for the Rosso color of the 500. I believe the OP was asking if the Rosso MP3 color is the same as the Dragon Red color used on Vespas. Which it appears is not the case.
