JCB yellow
Just watched a JCB digger doodah drive past the office. I'd like my Vespa painted the same colour.

Re: JCB yellow
Years ago when i was still working we had our Vans painted a very similar colour, used to hurt your eyes in bright sun light..

Looks good but a bogger if you crash into a bowl of custard.

Re: JCB yellow
Waaay back someone I know used to for Unigate, the milk delivery people whose electric floats were painted a distinctive shade of orange. One day he turned up in his Granada mk1 in the same shade. Oh dear.
My advice? Don't do it!!!!

Re: JCB yellow
Let's go back to the 1970s! Cars were painted in all sorts of outrageous colours then...my very staid dad had a Renault 8S in a wonderful mustard Yellow, and an early Renault 5 in bright orange! (even the interior was orange to match the paintwork!). And there were peculiar purples and bronze colours as well.
I so HATE the current market where cars and scoots only come in black, Silver and 3 shades of grey!

Re: JCB yellow
Years ago I used to have a Ford Fiesta in "Peppermint Green". Now have a bright white Yeti. Unfortunately the Vespa is matt black - I'd like it bright yellow too, please.

Re: JCB yellow
JCB yellow is VERY close to Ford Canary Yellow, if you're old enough think about Mk1 Escort
