Ha, you're right! If the star was white it'd look like a US military scoot

Good - cuz at this point it looks like I'll be getting an Italia in a month, and I don't really like the creme secondary color.

I really hope you get to do those mods. I'd like to see how it turns out

Are you going to be painting yourself, or do you have a place who can paint it for you?

I'd like to have my cream paint redone to be more tan like the seat, but its not really a big deal to me. I can accept it as it b/c I don't have the cash to have it painted.

You'll know better than I will since you own one, but - do those body panels come off independently? I assume so.

If that's the case, I might go the rattlecan route - I've seen some impressive motorcycle rattlecan paintjobs with little more than some sanding, careful spraying and some clearcoat. Cheap, too!

they come off fairly easily, might have to remove a few extra pieces to get to the ones you need. I heard somewhere that to get the front wheel cover off you have to remove the front wheel first, but I'm not positive...

do you guys use the krylon fusion paint for your body panels?

Che Guevara would be very proud.

It looks photoshoped to me. I believe that most of the custom paint jobs on with a rattle can that have been posted on MB have been done with Krylon Fusion.

True. I am playing with some other ideas, too.

Cool. -So show me what you would do with a creme colored Buddy?

+1 It'd be like a retro military scoot look, except there never was such a thing which would be kinda cool, too.

Isnt italy a democracy? When I first saw this, I was thinking of the soviet union. Although I do like the color scheme of the bike, still yet to see someone deck out a italian red white and green bike.
