If that was the original paintwork, I would have left it as it was- too late now though.

Snap almost. This is my SX150 and first restoration in 2005, BMW metallic blue ( cant remember precise shade but will look if it's important) and the white is an innocenti shade Nuevo blanco its a really white (blue) white

its your scooter so you can do it what ever colour/colours you like.
choosing what colour to do the scooter should be the fun bit, but its not its a bloody nightmare.
take your time making your mind up and look at loads of pictures of scooters to get ideas.
if you get it painted and then hate the colour your going to be pig sick.
i knew i wanted it bright white and dark blue so i was half way there.
make sure you do a dry build before getting it painted, bloke who painted mine didnt do it and nothing fitted properly when i put it back together.

Shipley nice scooter mate any more Picts and the shade of blue would be helpful ,colsx yea I know what u saying it's just all the history that came with States blue and white and is it wrong to change it from the original look

To be honest I think there should be a restraining order against you ever going anywhere near a scooter again. That is possibly the finest example of an original SX150 I've seen. Something which is apparently lost on you. You've ruined it and not only will it look like every other restored scooter you've probably reduced its value by half. Absolute genius!
