I have an old LML Vespa lying at home too.
I'm planning to give her a nice mild green with cream paint job with a decent dose of Chrome. I hope it turns out well.
I'm waiting to get my silver ZMa painted Pearl white first.

All the best bro.

i think its better to modify with this color scheme shown in this picture, with twin chrome rear view mirrors, transparent blinker lenses.

Here's the link for transparent blinker lenses & other goodies for the Vespa(more than 70% of the parts mentioned in this site are compatible with our LML Vespa), so there is no need to try Photoshop
