Vespa Concept Thread
Wed Jun 04, 2008 2:07 am
So, Maver and The_Biz had a great idea to post blank images of Vespa's so people could download them and test out color ideas.

There's the front and side view. So if you want to see what a color or some stickers or something will look like you can use these to edit.

Enjoy and feel free to do what ever you want to these images, just leave my sig and date on it please

Nice sketch. I've been trying to get some, I guess you would say blue prints on the GT. If it works out I'll post them of course.

so here's the idea. youc an take these pics and use a program like photoshop to see how a paint scheme might look

so if you thinnk maybe dark red with some yellow stripes might look cool, you can bang something like this out, maybe even post it for others to look at and see what you think

easier than painting your bike right?



if anyone wants some help trying this out just let me know, i'd be happy to help people with some art stuff.

I've always thought this idea would look neat on a lot of scoots, not just a Vespa:


Black with tiny hot-pink stripes, and larger white stripes... white seat with hot-pink stitching, hot-pink grips and rims, plus whitewalls that I didn't bother to put on. Not too girly, but still cool. Actually, come to think of it, I've had about 3 pairs of sneakers with the same theme. We'll say it's the Chuck Taylor pair that inspired the scoot design. Maybe a Chuck Taylor logo on the legshield or topcase.


Basically what my Chucks look like, but I whimped out and got the low-tops.

Thanks, Kingnor!

Actually, now that I've mocked that up on a black GTS... I'm not so sure I'll be lusting after the Portofino GTV that I recently fell in love with. I guess my shoes have been trying to tell me something.

making a difference already if enough people find it useful maybe it'll even get stickied /hope

anyway, i was on the verge of buying a bike with this paint scheme and i saw that someone else on here was planning on doing it too. so i thought i'd mock it up for all to see.

basically a 40's style hot rod paint job, flat black with red wheels and white wall, and pinstriping, which i dont' know how to draw so i faked it. i think you get the idea though

Looks cool, you could name it Good & Plenty. Props on the colors.

Looks like Piaggio logo.

Kingnor - very cool thing you've started here. Might try to remember my own photoshop skills that way. I mean my dragon red Urr is fast and feisty but a little personalization never hurts
