Laverda colours

[Hogga]

Hi, I am rebuilding a 1200t in the metallic blue with red strip colour scheme. I have found a reference to a Yamaha colour for the blue but then struggled to find a current equivalent and I am also trying to find the stripe colour or transfers!!!

Has anyone trodden this path before and can help.

Cheers

Mel

I had some of the 1200 stripe kits re-made.
PM me if interested.
I was lucky to find a good original blue sample and had it colour matched.
Yes, some sort of Yamaha blue but I don't know which.
If you want I can have it painted and striped for you.

Looks like a Yamaha RD350 colour from the 70s.

If I recall correctly some early Jota colours came from a Ford paint chart - the silver Jota for example is Ford Silver Fox XW (australian) GT colour.
There's a blue GT colour from the same era that is very close.

Ford Amber Gold is a good match for Laverda "orange" whatever you decide that is!

Mirage TS is a BMW colour, sterling silver  (Dupont 244) shade 1

The blue sit up Mirage looks great, just a cool motorbike. No aching shoulders. I sold my TS because it did my shoulders in.

Cheaper to change the bars

I assume you have seen this paint list before https://laverdamania.net/paint.htm
There is a Yamaha blue reference listed for  1200

I had an early 80s yamaha RS100 which memory tells me was very similar blue. HTH.
