I have no personal experience but I had talked with Boston Village Auto Body and Repair about painting at one point and they said they were happy to do the work on a scoot...

I would like to take it to a vespa friendly place if possible and not spend a kings ransom on it.


Hey Rover Eric, I think you should open a scooter shop in Boston

Post up on the New England Scooters Yahoo group. Its still very active and a lot of long time scooterists post on there. Some one should be able to point you in the right direction.

The Boston Stranglers are the most active scooter club in the Boston area. Some of them post on the New England yahoo group (Eric for one) but they meet up once a week, I think on Sunday nights, at The Common Ground, in Allston.

bump!

its 4 years later I realize, but does anyone have someone to recommend at this point? My lx150's paint is old and sad and there are some dings I'd like to cover up with a nice matte black. Anyone in the general area? Willing to travel a little if necessary
