Our company, which specialises in bodywork paint for cars and motorcycles, is able to produce all the colour codes for Italian motorcycles and, in particular, the colour codes for Lambretta motorcycles, which have been identified and reproduced for several decades.
Orders must be placed online on the website. The procedure is very quick and easy: go to the Lambretta paint product page and simply choose one of the packaging options offered in the drop-down menu.
The Lambretta paint is supplied in the Lambretta colour code of your choice, to be specified by email after placing the order, or entered in the box provided during the basket stage.
Available formats include 400 ml aerosol sprays or paint cans, with volumes ranging from 250 ml to 2 litres.
All orders placed and confirmed before 3 p.m. are dispatched within 24 hours in France and within 72 hours to other European countries.
The paint is opaque, easy to apply, perfectly faithful to the manufacturer’s colour, and is only available in solvent-based version. This type of paint guarantees maximum longevity (over 20 years without fading, blistering or peeling). It is also very easy to work with, thanks to its fast drying time, fineness, and resistance to sagging.
In general, 1K basecoats are very easy to apply, even for amateur painters: the key is to apply very thin coats. The number of coats does not matter; you only need to ensure full coverage of the background and an accurate shade match. The second key point is that the Topcoat (bodywork clearcoat) must be applied quickly, ideally within 20 to 25 minutes after the basecoat.
Depending on your project, you may want to repair a small section of the fairing or entirely repaint your motorcycle, either in a new colour or the original shade.
In all cases, it is not possible to paint without dismantling the part to be painted.
For example, if you are painting a tank, it must be removed from the frame and placed on a table or rack, slightly elevated to allow access to the underside. For the fuel filler opening, the flap must be removed and the hole filled with cloth or paper. What should be avoided is masking the opening, which will leave a sharp paint edge where fuel can seep in. On the contrary, with this method, the paint is blended in smoothly, which is the best way to paint the inside of a tank.
For the rest of the tank or any part, there are typically two or three painting steps:
• If the existing paint is in good condition, then two steps are sufficient: after sanding with 500 grit, apply the Lambretta colour code, followed by the Topcoat.
• If the existing paint shows dents, scratches or other imperfections, it will be necessary to sand, apply a filling primer, then sand again with 500 grit to achieve a perfectly smooth surface before applying the Lambretta colour code and the final Topcoat.
In case of doubt, it is always better to apply a primer. Note that a specific primer shade is often required depending on the Lambretta manufacturer shade.
This information can be provided by our colourist, who will consult our motorcycle colour software and inform you of the recommended primer shade to use under the Lambretta basecoat.
Lambretta is an Italian manufacturer specialising in motorcycles and, above all, scooters.
The company was founded by Ferdinando Innocenti in 1922. Initially, the small workshop was based near Rome and specialised in the manufacture of metal tubing. The brand’s name originates from a nearby sparkling water spring that flowed next to the original factory.
In the early 1930s, Innocenti relocated his business near Milan to build a larger factory. At its peak, it employed more than 6,000 workers.
Unfortunately, like many Italian companies, the Second World War devastated the industry, and the Lambretta factories were completely destroyed.
Production plants remain today near Milan, Italy.
The spirit and design of Lambretta scooters date back to the pre-war era. The style is reminiscent of that of the Vespa scooter.
In the early 1970s, the Indian government purchased all of Lambretta’s Italian machinery and factory equipment. It created a new company called “Scooters India Limited” to produce a three-wheeled scooter named “Vikram”.
The ownership of the brand is somewhat complex, but the Lambretta trademark is now held by a Swiss company, which grants licensing rights worldwide.
Today, the Lambretta brand has a devoted following drawn to the classic look and shape of its scooters. Many of these enthusiasts customise their scooters with modified fairings and custom paintwork.
As with most scooters, it is not possible to find the paint reference by checking the frame or fairings for a colour code.
You must visit a Lambretta specialist centre, such as an authorised dealer, to request this information.
If you purchased your Lambretta scooter new, then the original documentation will contain your Lambretta colour code.
There are also forums where Lambretta enthusiasts gather, and these online communities are often a good source of information regarding colour names and corresponding codes.
Having borrowed its design from pre-war American scooters, Italian scooters from the Lambretta brand clearly feature an iconic shade: “olive green”. This colour covered most scooters in the 1960s and was inspired by military tones.
Today, the brand’s fans are among the most creative in terms of customisation with special paints. We have a particularly comprehensive database of Lambretta colour codes. In fact, we have the largest database in the world, which includes formulas dating back to the 1950s.
Lambretta brand colour codes always consist of four digits. Here are some examples :
