I'm looking for a close match for the orange paint used on the GLS air box.
Thanks,

That's spooky
Our smart repairer guy was in at work (he painted my air box)
He loaned me some piaggio swatches I matched the colour up last night and came up wth
ARANCIO STORM 816
Or
MANGO 806
Although my air box may not be an exact match for an original it's pretty close and looks very good
Pity I have k&n"s on !
sometimes nothing can be a real cool hand |

Yes they are fibreglass and I think you're right about the colour. I was tempted to spray mine to match to bodywork but decided to stick with orange for originality.

Some more excellent work going on here by the looks of it..
By the way, were the original parts actually just coloured in the gelcoat (they are fibreglass, right?) |

Right, I've just been in to the local paint suppliers and looked at the orange swatch cards. They have several that are very close but I settled on Piaggio 926 Arancio. So you can decide yourself you can see it on the website linked below (third row down);

You should be able to get any decent auto paint supplier to mix some for you.
Hope that helps.

I would say Firecracker Orange (151) is closer than Wardance Red (156).  |

If you get stuck I could take mine to the paint suppliers local to me who could mix some colour matched aerosols for you.

It always looked to be the same colour as my old Fastback, which was Wardance Red code 156.
Probably not officially the same - but it looked it.
