Cosa 2 paint

[gilburton]

After a lapse of a few years I came across a 1998 Cosa that had been lying for 3 yrs. I couldn't resist it and it will be the second Cosa I have owned.
Anyway my problem is paint colour??
The only sticker I can see is in the engine compartment but doesn't appear to bear any relation to vespa paint codes.
The numbers are 78r-0146059, 10r-0144507 and 40r-0044509
The actual colour is a sort of dark blue metallic.
I just wondered if anyone knows the Cosa 2 colours that were available in the UK??
That might narrow it down a bit?
If I was doing a full respray I would just get something near or change the colour altogether.
As it is all that needs doing are the side panels and the metal front panel.
Just to add with the addition of a new CDI it started first kick!!
Not bad

If you're on Facebook, look up the Cosa owners group on there, they have a wealth of knowledge.

yep cosanauts on fb ,they will prob be able to help from a picture posted , most auto-paint shops have "paint readers" ,a little gizmo they put on a spot of "unfaded" paint ,like inside glovebox, an it kicks out the paint code to mix a match . H
