![]() There are books such as Vespa by Giorgio Sarti that have added the Max Meyer code to every model and year. However, if you don’t have the original Max Meyer paint code of your classic Vespa or its original booklet then you can also find the correct code by searching the model and the year it was produced. If you have the exact code you can easily find the color by searching on google. With a large number of Vespa models over the years, you can imagine that there is also a long list of Max Meyer colors used. The Max Meyer Duco company was bought by PPG in 1997 but you can still use the last three digits to find the right paint. The last three digits are the paint code from the Max Meyer Duco Painting company that provided Piaggio with all the paint for their scooters. These colors had a specific Max Meyer code, which is 5 or 8 digits long. Vespa models were often launched in one to three colors. Until the 1980’s the original Vespa paint codes were from the Max Mayer paint company. What color do Vespa come in?Ĭlassic Vespa V50 in Giallo Positano color So let’s have a closer look at the colors Vespa Piaggio has used over the years and what your possibilities are for finding the correct paint for your beloved Vespa. These have often been repainted with a ‘vintage’ color that is different from their original such as metallic aluminum grey or beige. This is the same for the pristine-looking classic Vespas. Customizing your Vespa is a way to differentiate yourself from others. What happens if the Vespa doesn’t have the original color? I have seen many Vespa GTS and Sprints with customized colors. Unfortunately, it is not always easy to find the Vespa paint code. If absent you can look up the paint code by model and year. The paint code for classic Vespas should be located under the seat near the gas tank. It is indicated as ‘Colour’ and is usually followed by 3 digits. The original Vespa paint code is found on the inside of the frame, under the seat storage. A slight difference in the shade of color is immediately visible and something you really do not want. It is however important to know exactly what paint code your Vespa has. Just like a car, the Vespa has a metal frame making it possible to repair dents and scratches with a proper paint job. ![]()
