I don't care for it.  So far, I think that Pink Floyd "The Wall" machine was the best non traditional paint job listed on this site.

I don't think it ads anything. They should have painted an old compressor top refrigerator instead. That would have been more appropriate.

When I look at the lettering up top, what is the sky on the bottom looks as if it's just been masked off accompanied by massive over spray in the middle of the machine. Totally ruins the machine in my humble opinion.The Pink Floyd V110 artwork was better executed, but I think such efforts are still best expressed in the traditional manner. Viewing these machines as works of art in of themselves is only cheapened by distracting from their intrinsic designs.

So there! smile

Not my taste at all. I think they ruined a good machine. Doubt it sells for the asking price.

I think I'm going to do a '57 Chevy with paintings of Vendo 81's all over it. Should be real eye catching!

I don't like it either.. why take a classic machine and try to customize it.. Like others have said, take a generic square top or other non embossed cooler and customize all you want..
it won't sell this way..

 I agree with Oscar

It would have made a better canvas and nothing would have taken away from the art work, the way it is now the serving door opening looks like an eye sore instead of being the spot that normally  blends in nicely with the rest of the machine. Also I bet if they didn't do the art work themselves they paid a pretty penny for it.

I think it would look better with the "Sprite-boy" sticking his creepy face out of the trunk on the '57 Chevy kinda like Freddy Kruger beckoning you to your Death ( Er..Coke) "  it kinda reminds me of the old "BeerMachines.com" website (they were on Ebay too) selling Beer themed 60's coke machine? this would fit right in
