Max Meyer Vespa Paint Codes

The Max Meyer Vespa Paint Codes are made up of a 5 digit or 8 digit number.

The meaning of the codes are as follows;

The 5-digit codes – The 1st digit is the color group. That is 0 for metallics; 1 for whites; 2 for yellows; 3 for browns; 4 for oranges; 5 for reds; 6 for greens; 7 for blues; 8 for greys, and 9 for blacks.

The next 3-digits are the color code that should be easy to match in the PPG catalog. However, since PPG moved the online catalog from the public to a secure site it is hard to get the conversion online but your paint shop should be able to help.

The 8-digit code was first used on the 1960 Vespa 125. Specifically, it used the Light Blue-Grey: MaxMeyer 1.298.8840. – The first digit is going to either be a “1” (single-stage paint) or “2” (metallic paint). – The second three digits is a batch code, “268” for Maxi-car; “298” for Bi-lux. – The 5th digit is the color group: 0 for metallics; 1 for whites; 2 for yellows; 3 for browns; 4 for oranges; 5 for reds; 6 for greens; 7 for blues; 8 for greys, and 9 for blacks. – The final 3-digits should match the color code in a PPG catalog
