i will be redoing my machine within the next couple of weeks and part of that will include painting. What type of paint should I use or can you recommend? Any other tips or things i should know? This will be my 1st time doing anything like this.  |

Are you going to be doing the painting yourself?

I plan on doing it all myself if I can.

There are a lot of things involved with applying paint. I recently bought a book at Barnes and Noble and I found it to be very informative. Having pained some machines and a car, with excellent results, I still learned a lot from the book.
Right now I am using a Valspar single stage enamel and I am getting excellent results with it.
And believe it or not, a coke machine is an excellent first project. It is not so large that you get fatigued while applying the paint and if you mess up and get a run or fish eyes, just step back, let the paint dry, and then sand it down and try again.

I thought about just cleaning it up a little and doing the pedestal base, but I think the woodgrain has to go. I like the way that halehouse's compact turned out. I may try and get some inspiration from it as far as a paint scheme goes.

My base was done with Rustoleum Hammered Silver. It goes on great for an area like that. |

Is that from a rattle can? |

I used the same paint for the interior of one of the Juniors. I used a rattle can and the results were great. And if you want, it is available for paint gun applications also.

What was the title of the book? |

'How to paint your car on a budget'. It appears to be a new release, I bought it at Barnes and Noble last month. I left it at work. If you need the Author's name I can get it Next Monday.
