ahh I am actually thinking of going with a bright green! Probably with black as the contrast colour.
Trouble is when the bike is in pieces it's hard to picture what it will look like when it's done, I find.

green ,seen as "unlucky" by some ,not me , gaz's kwacker green is a bright sort of lime-green , not sure of that meself ,unless its metalic candy flake ,aahhh pure 80's scooterboy nirvana , so long as its not british racing green (reckon thats were the unlucky green comes from,all those sports car crashes) or another old english white scoot , H

i went to just clean up my px and give it a lick of paint nearly a grand later and a year im still adding bits but are betsy looks well sexy now. go for a metalic green or with flecks of another colour in the green a few wasp decals and it will look good sounds wrong but red suits a good metallic green as a trim or a few shiny gloss black areas picture it green mark off areas you think black would look good stand back and look it will come together . dark green will make it look old the brighter the green the newer it will look like ford st metallic

lol i can easily believe that! Got any pictures of her?
yeah i've seen some nice green vespas with red shocks on actually. I'm having the secondary colour as black, got a black mudguard crest, suspension arm cover, stand and pm tuning brake levers on the way, probably get the seat cushion the same as well. Thinking about having a yellow caliper from sip too and a matching flywheel, got the transparent flywheel cover on the way so should be quite visible.
