A friend from the Vespa forum kindly donated her old exhaust, which was surplus to requirements following an upgrade. My plan was to whack some high-temperature paint on it to delay the inevitable rusting for a little longer.
By coincidence, around this time I received an email from Mr Fastner with a clearance offer on high-temperature paint in red or yellow.
What do red and yellow make?
Orange.
What's my scooter's 'accent colour'?
Orange!
It's a bit of a sloppy job, but a) I like it and b) no bugger's going to steal it (another forum friend went outside one morning and found her entire exhaust missing).
