All the rest. Overall 8/10 for a project like this. It came with the flat tank, I pulled the nickle plated tank from my stash.

Teal on the fork, white underneath. Not sure if white is paint or primer.

I dont think its Pavone Blue, in person it looks more teal/turquoise. Although I dont have a swatch to compare, so Im just going by photos.

Based on what some helpful scooterists have told me, these scooters were often painted a variety of scooters; and over the years were commonly painted numerous times to quell moisture and rust in New Zealand. hard to say what if anything is 'original' for this particular example. I'm in the exploratory & research stage

Bro, You appear to be missing the Kiwi REAR RACK!

I've got a few stashed away, but they need rechroming & they're in Australia... being a 1-piece design means they're HUGE to ship & would cube out to about 25-30kg. If someone is coming to Melbourne, & has space in luggage...
