Modern Vespa

Hi everyone glad to be hear and looking forward to talking to you all 👍 I'm new to the scootering scene so please bare with me for what might seem some silly questions.
I've just purchased a lml star 2t which I'm loving but as everyone one does want to make my own with decals and stuff nothing major just a change but the one thing I'm struggling to find is the paint code for it,
I've come across a max meyer code which is 1.298.6399 but no one seems to use this code to mix a tin of spray up for me, it's probably been asked loads but does anyone know where I could get the correct code from please.
Thanks in advance Alex.

To say this up front: there is a possibility that Vespa and LML have not used the same paint!

Halfords will mix you rattle cans or touch-up tubes, using the Piaggio/Vespa code 399.

Hi thanks for all the info that's a big help and I'll look into the Halford one too 😁👍

Kind regards Alex.

I checked again: Vespa/Piaggio and LML do not have identical colors. That means you have to look for the LML color!

You should find the color code of an LML on the type plate or in the service booklet of the scooter.

Found a List of LML paintcodes: https://www.scooter-center.com/media/pdf/92/6d/b5/Farbcodes_LML_c10.pdf

Again absolute legend mate ill have a good look at that 👍👍
Cheers Alex.

I knew joining this forum was going to be useful thanks again.

Well Halfords don't mix anymore so that's out the window grrrrrr😭😭😭

Welcome to MV!

Bummer - sorry to hear that.

Do you know the manufacture of the paint they use?
We use PPG in the shop I am working at and no Piaggio/Vespa paint codes come up as a match in our system.

I've no idea mate to be fair I've hunted high and low for the equivilant code for lml scooter still can't seem to get one I've looked on the scooter and in manual to no avail doing my head in now to be fair, lads on here have been very helpful but all seems to be foreign I think I might be wrong so please correct I'm in the UK I just wish it was as easy as yeah go to this supplier code is......... And they mix it but vespa codes are not same as lml grrrr might just have to settle with something close but surely I'm not the only one that's struggled in the past lol 🤔🤔😭😭😭.

Will you be using the paint for a respray or touch up?

First: do you have a picture of your scooter?

I post you a link with LML Color Codes: I don't know if that list is complete, but there a only two green tones with could match the picture you posted:

Color: Green LAGUNA (GRÜN LAGUNA)
MAX MEYER:
PPG: *0041
NEXA: ?
GLASURIT: SG027.50

Color: Green Mint (GRÜN MINZE)
MAX MEYER: 6002M
PPG: *0016
NEXA: 44XXB
GLASURIT: ?
Paint Pen available at SIP: https://www.sip-scootershop.com/en/product/paint-pen-sip-lml-lml-mint-6002m_61076800

If I'm right about any of these, though, the next drink is on you.... 🍸

Yeah I think mine is the green mint and yeah defo drink on me if I can get sorted 👍
Really do appreciate all the help everybody's given.

And now that we know we have the paint and you can either order the touch-up pencil or get the paint mixed by a paint shop of your choice: I would refrain from using touch-up pens or otherwise trying to do it yourself, most of the time it looks crappier afterwards than the actual scratch. A Vespa uh LML may quietly have some patina!

Cheers!

That is a good point the spray can is not for any of the body panels as these are OK but I'm wanting to change the wheels and paint the hubs tha same as the bike I've seen some pics and they look quite good to be fair, I know it personal choice and if it doesn't look good I'll just go back to the normal hubs 😂😂👍👍

Thanks again for all your help 👌👍

Like these I think 👍

Any reasonable paint shop can perform a color analysis with a digital spectrophotometer. This also allows production tolerances and changes in the existing paint due to environmental influences to be taken into account in order to remix a paint.

Yeah never thought of that either mate....... Your so wise lol 👍👍😁

Sorry, can't tell now if you mean that ironically? If so, I was just trying to help...

No mate not at all sorry if it came over that way just my odd sense of humour I do apologise I can't thank you enough for all your help 👍👍,

Really am sorry if that came over wrong just meant that I'd not thought of doing that with a paint shop and you were wise in guiding me that way sorry 👍

Kind regards Alex.

You're welcome!

Sorry, that I have taken that in the wrong. The "you are so wise" sounds a bit exaggerated to my German ears... you know, we Germans are always so serious and have no humor... 😎

Whatever you end up getting painted: I'm happy to see before/after photos!

Yeah mate no probs I'll defo be posting some before and after so watch this space lol 😁👍.
