Vespa Pilipinas: my tri-color paint scheme

January 29, 2009

It’s been almost three years since I acquired PYKE and I feel that it’s time to sport a new look especially with the rust and corrosion that’s starting to show at the floorboard and glovebox.  I had fun with my black & white theme but it’s time to try something new.

The design that I thought of was inspired by the numerous Vespa Italia and Vespa Union Jack paintjobs I’ve seen online.  But my particular color scheme was of course based on the Philippine tri-color (red, white & blue) with the three stars & the sun.

Here’s the left perspective.

I did the design in photoshop using three identical press photos of three Vespa PXs in while, blue and red.  I just added the racing stripes, the sun and the stars.

The right side would look like this.

My scooter has been completely disassembled now and will bring to the paintshop the parts that need repainting later today.  If everything goes well, the project will be finished in, give or take, in two weeks.

Noyping noypi!
