Modern Vespa

BMW Estoril Blue?

This is sick. Really - it looks amazing. I love the color. That "afternoon garage painter" did a pretty freakin good job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you mind sharing how much you paid for painting? Did you sand down everything yourself or did the "garage painter" do that as well?

Pretty close...but it isn't BMW's. It was sandblasted (no sanding) which costed me 70GBP, "garage painter" did 2-component base coat (epoxy primer), prepared everything for painting, painted with base (blue) and then clear-coated with metallic lack....140GBP.

Audi "Sprint Blue"?

Loving this rebuild by the way! 8)

Nope, not an Audi's color.

See they are still guessing lol wonder how long until someone gets it right???

You're right.
It is very difficult task because:
-color on foto is something else when you see it in person
-second reason is-when you hear for this car, this would be the last color that would come on your mind (I hope that you can understand me)

So keep on guessing or surrender

Ford Azure Blue

Nope.

First letter of first word and first four letters of second are correct. HotboxDeluxe You are getting wormer and wormer...

Ferrari Azzurro California

Congratulations. Good job!

Yay! Your first clue made me think of cars which aren't usually blue, and your second clue made it eeeeasy!

I win...nothing

If I drive by Heidelberg, should let you know.
I owe you a beer.

Top man! 8)

I am glad the colour has been guessed right Joze , I dont know how long I could have kept it a secret lol lol

Back to the project...







Does anybody have a spare-wheel holder for PK, I need one

Joze

look more and more sweet

Hi Jozzze can you advise on how you customised the horn cover. Like you I do not like the PK XL styled horn cover, the original one I had on the scooter back in '86 was much more like a PX EFL style one that actually houses the horn itself inside the cover like the PX MY. I have tried al sources possible to try and find one SIP BEEDSPEED etc etc but with know luck, it looks as thoughtwith yours you've moulded the V50 to a PK one any advice would be gratefully recieved. Also what modifications if any were needed to fit the V50 styled front mudguard
Cheers

Here is a website from a German guy (http://www.pimp-your-vespa.de/products.htm), that produces retro horncovers.

Fitting a V50 mudguard was a little bit tricky. I had to re-shape fork (using a large hammer ) where side bolt holds mudguard and drill new holes for upper two bolts.

Regards, Joze

Hello Jose

Could you give me an exact number ( code ) of the colour you used to paint your vespa? Where did you get it? I cant find any online store selling 'Ferrari azzurro california'. Thanks in advance

I used Standox mixture under code Ferrari azzuro california year 2005 798062.

I think this one is the same:




Joze

The paint looks great

Thank you very much !

I too would like to know where to buy this vintage smallframe plastic horncast. eBay seems deprived of these, though I did once ce across one being sold in Italy. PM me too, please. It's not for a PK, but for my 50 special.

Thanks

Ebay Italy is probably your best bet. Cheap parts, but shipping costs.

Jose

I have one more question. What have you done with the metal part (covering the front of the vespa all the way around) , before and after the painting? Coz i know that to change it you got to have a special tool ( which ofc I dont posses).

Thats the part i mean:

Hello!

Sorry for a late reply...I've been busy.

Seat's "frame" needs to be redesigned to fit PK, I hope to do it somehow...
