Anyone have any info on a color called Blanco Capod? The color number is 913. I bought an ET2 last weekend and this is the color named on the sticker inside the pet carrier compartment. I've never seen this color before, it's somewhat similar to PPG's Vanilla Shake, kind of an ivory color, very nice looking.

Not the Pearl White, not the standard White, much lighter than the Alabaster.

I'm wondering if it's kinda like the Ruby Red....Piaggio made a very few (14 according to David Meyer) and discontinued that color.

Welcome back Len! I'm now all agog. Can we see a picture of this strange colour? Can't wait....

And sooner rather than later. I have less than 12 hours to decide what colour to paint my ET4. The more options I have the merrier. The scooter is sitting in the boot of my Focus, waiting to go to the London Scooter Body Shop in the morning....

Silver ET4 Repaint Project. New pics page 2.

Thanks! I am a white Vespa lover. I probably will go a bit more daring! Who knows....

The fluorescent lights in the garage make the color appear more pinkish than it really is, but you'll get an idea:

The GT200 on the left is Diamond White, and the ET is Ivory.
