Hi
Really hoping someone might know the modern colour code that will relate to this bike? I've looked online and got 2.298.5850 from various sources.Then my sprayer recons its maxmeyer 2.268.5850 but the codes are unobtainable. Anyone else had this problem?
Brash

In Vespa Tecnica 6, there are two reds listed for the 90SS: 2.268.5850 and 2.2685802. The 02 colour is slight lighter and slightly more orange than the 50 colour. Unfortunately paint systems have changed to water based and old colour codes don't work anymore. The Vespa Tecnica 6 book, however, has colour samples that you could get scanned.

worth a gaze through "vespa farben" website , totally dedicated to vespas there paints an paint codes . as jb says codes for water based paints are different ,but in uk hobbyists an classic restorers are still allowed cellulose paints , codes work with them . H

if its got wheels n makes a noise i wanna play with it,skateboards included coz "skate punks rule".
