I don't know the code for that colour but a while back I tried at the Halfords paint counter to see if they had anything for my rosso red T5. They didn't have any vespa colours in their database but when i gave them the code and piaggio as machine type instead of vespa they had the mix details on their sysytem and sorted me out.

There was a T5 classic done in yellow but that doesn't look like it, that looks more like Ford Signal Yellow

I had an "N" reg'n T5 Classic in that yellow colour. I can't recall what the colour was called although I remember getting a can of touch up from Turners*, Birkenhead who were then Piaggio dealers. I am with Gaz, that colour looks close to it but somehow doesn't look right. I think the Piaggio colour was a whiter shade of yellow.

* Sadly, Turners shut their doors for the last time a couple of weeks back - another long established old school scooter dealer folds.

Yes, as the link showed the Piaggio yellow was more of a primrose colour.

Whilst we're hear does anyone know of the very rare metallic green option that was offered for a year or two on the T5 Classic? Only seen 3 or 4 of them over the years and it was much darker than the Aquamarine the T5 Poley came in. Cheers

Reread, any idea on the code or tone name is what I was enquiring about.

Thanks.

I had a metallic maroon T5 Classic several years ago and gave up trying to find the code for the paint. There seems to be almost no information on the web for vespas.
