Can anyone please help me with the correct paint I need to touch up my 2016 PX125. I bought it for a bargain £500 only 50 miles on the clock but it does have surface rust on the floorboards and front mudguard. Nothing major but the sticker with the paint code is missing. I would be very grateful if someone out there could help. Mint green is the only way I can describe it and I have found this pic online. I can't take a photo as my phone camera is broken.
Mint Green??

On the frame on the engine side, in the area of the frame numbers in the vespa after 2001 there is a sticker that shows various data including the paint code number.
I don't think it's from 2016, I understand that the PX 70 ° Anniversario was produced in the year 2011.

Now I understand, probably the English importer has different stocks from the distribution on the Italian territory and that's why I didn't find any news related to that year.

Thanks for the replies fellas found the paint code on the VIN plate and already ordered. Yeah I certainly had a bargain the unlucky guy that I bought it from had a seizure and came off the scooter. He'd been hanging onto it in the hope that he could get his licence back but a diagnosis of epilepsy thwarted his plans. I feel for him tbh but £500 I couldn't not buy it. There is some rust on the floorboards though nothing major that's what I need the paint for. Now selling my ET2 50. Thanks again for the replies.

If you have the paint code don't forget Halfords can knock you up a rattle-can or touch-up kit, if you ever need extra down the line.

Here is a pic of my nephew loving the bargain PX. I'm loving it too. I can't upload anymore pics as my phone camera is broken but I will when I am able.

Thanks for that I didn't realise that Halfords would be able to do this I purchased a rattle can from Paintnuts.com though Halfords would have been easier as there is a store 5 minutes away from me. Good to know cheers.
