Qman da hue man Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Hey Guzzists, Does any one know what gives with Moto Guzzi and their top secret paints? Last summer I had what I refer to as the "great lawn incident." A 10 mph wet lawn go down. My poor Coppa!!! Since then I've spent nearly one grand replacing scratched and broken parts to make her pretty again. The problem is I have a nickel sized chip in the red on one side of the tank. I delt with my dealer for several months to no avail. I then contacted Piaggio Group N.A. Useless! So I contacted Guzzi in Italy and after many calls eventually gave up due to the phone bill and the language barrier. My dealer can,t even get me the name of the red so I can try to match it up thru some of the paint links available thru this site. 1st) Does anyone happen to know the name or formula of the Coppa red? 2nd) Would anyone like to dress in a black hood and clothing and slip into Moto Guzzi at night to abduct their paint codes? I,ll pay for the clothes. 3rd) Anyone interested in starting a email, snail mail, phone campain to see if we, en mass can get this silly policy of paint codes being an italian national secret changed? Perhaps if enough of us (faithfull customers and Guzzi heads) become annoying enough, they will change this policy. Whaddaya think? Should we nibble at the hand that feeds us? Oh yeh,.... we feed them don,t we. More Than Slightly Annoyed and Disappointed, Qman da hue man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Jaap Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Forget about paint numbers... Just do search on this forum and you'll find lots of frustrated owners. Best thing you can do is go to a good paintshop and have him match the paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeBenGuzzi Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 I haven't actually SEEN the coppa in person, but isn't that the same red as the Rosso Mandello? sure looks close, and I know you can get that touchup paint. If anything might make a good coverup until you can get to an experienced painted to sand and match it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
