I picked up a nice, straight generic VMC 81 today. It was originally an ugly orange ( Mission soda ). I had to trade a few machines for it, but I'm closer to making my "Squirt" VMC 81. I think I'm going with bright yellow on the bottom and white on top (like some RC 81's)... And then squirt lettering In green and red and the squirt boy on the sides. Any suggestions would be welcomed.

You will have to get some better pictures up, that's almost like a teaser!

Glad to see you trade!  My favorite way to get machines!

A Squirt 81would be awesome. Are you going to emboss it or just decals?

The Squirt “Splash” logo in red with reverse Squirt text/logo would be great along the top....

making a nice yellow Squirt would look AWESOME!
Although I would go with a solid yellow theme rather than white top... but that's just me.
Either way, would love to see that when finished!

Someone here posted this pic, thought I would re post it.

That is a great looking machine.  I have to put my vote in for the solid yellow paint scheme over the 2 tone.
