LAMBRETTA motorcycle paint 

Our company, which specializes in bodywork paint for cars and motorcycles, is able to produce all the color codes for Italian motorcycles and in particular, the color 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: you have to go to the Lambretta paint product page, and simply choose one of the packaging offered in the drop-down menu.

The Lambretta paint is offered with the Lambretta color code of your choice, to be specified by email after the order, in the box provided, in the basket step.

Possible formats are 400ml aerosol or paint pots, with capacities from 250ml to 2 litres.

All our orders, placed and confirmed before 3 p.m., are dispatched within 24 hours in France or 72 hours in Europe.

The paint is opaque, easy to use, perfectly faithful to the manufacturer's color and is only available in solvent base. This type of paint ensures maximum longevity to the paint (over 20 years without discoloration, blisters or peeling). They are particularly easy to paint, thanks to their very fast drying, their fineness and their resistance to sag.

In general, base coats are very easy to paint, even for amateur painters : the secret is to apply very thin coats. No matter how many layers, you just need to cover the bottom and achieve the optimal color. The 2nd important point is that the clearcoat must be applied very quickly, that is to say within 20 to 25 minutes, on the paint.

Lambretta brand motorcycle color codes

Depending on your project, you have decided to repair a small area of the fairing of the motorcycle, or to completely paint your motorcycle, either with a new color or with the original color.

In any case, it is not possible to paint without dismantling the part to be painted.
When painting a tank, it must be removed from the chassis and positioned on a table or grid, slightly higher, in order to be able to paint the underside. As for the opening for filling the fuel, you have to dismantle the hatch, then stuff the hole with a cloth, or even paper. What should not be done, is to make a masking, which will produce a clear delimitation of the layers of paint, in which the fuels can infiltrate. On the contrary, with this technique, the paint will be applied in a gradient and this is the best way to paint the inside of a whole tank.

For the rest of the tank, of any part, the different stages of painting can be 2 or 3 :
• If the old paint is in good condition, then 2 stages are necessary : after sanding with 500, apply the Lambretta color code, followed by clearcoat.
• If the old paint has dents, scratches, imperfections, it will be necessary to sand, apply a primer filling, then sand again with 500, in order to obtain a perfectly smooth surface, then you can apply the Lambretta color code and the final step, the clearcoat.

When in doubt, it is always best to apply a primer. Note that often a certain primer color is needed depending on the manufacturer Lambretta shade.

This information, our colorist will be able to send it to you by looking at our motorcycle color software. It will tell you exactly what the recommended primer color is below the Lambretta shade.

The history of the Lambretta manufacturer

Lambretta is an Italian manufacturer specializing in motorcycles and especially scooters.

The date of foundation of the company by Ferdinando Innocenti dates back to 1922. Originally, the small workshop was based near Rome and specialized in the manufacture of metal tubes. The origin of its name comes from the source of sparkling water that runs right next to the original factory.

It was in the early 1930s that he moved his business near Milan to build a larger factory. It employed at that time no less than 6000 employees !

Unfortunately, like most Italian companies, the Second World War ravaged the industry and Lambretta's factories were razed to the ground.

Today, the production plants are still based near Milan in Italy.

The Lambretta scooter spirit and design dates back to pre-war times. The styling is reminiscent of the same as that of the Vespa scooter.

In the early 1970s, the Indian government bought out all of Lambretta's Italian machinery and factory. He established a new company by the name of "scooters India limited" to produce a new type of 3-scooter whose name is "Vikram".

It may be slightly complicated, but the brand itself is owned by a Swiss company and they provide the license for the brand worldwide.

These days, the Lambretta brand has a following that is passionate about the style and shape of scooters. Many of these enthusiasts do customizations with fairing modifications and custom paint jobs.

Where to find the color code of your Lambretta motorcycle ?

As with most scooters, it is not possible to know the paint reference by looking for the color code somewhere on the frame or fairing.

You must go to a center specializing in the Lambretta brand, for example a franchised dealer, to request this information.

If you bought your Lambretta scooter new, then you have an original scooter booklet and you can find your Lambretta color code there.

There are forums where enthusiasts of the Lambretta brand gather, and on these Internet forums it is likely to find the information you are looking for regarding the shade, its code and its name.
