I just wanted to show everyone how the 7up machine is going. It is now in primer and ready for paint. Hopefully I can get it in for paint tomorrow. I am going to paint the whole thing white and then decide what I want to be green.

Just to refresh your memory this is what the machine started as.

Here is all of the chrome and polished aluminum ready for the machine. This thing is going to be shiny. Yes the big pieces are the outside trim that used to be anodized. They look great polished.

Josh,
How did you polish the trim pieces.  Do you have a polishing wheel, drill with a buffer...just curious.

I send it out. I have a polisher in Daytona Beach that is a god. His name is Henry Canup. His # is (386)846-5421 or go to www.getpolished.com. If you talk to him tell him the Coke machine guy sent you. He is a really nice guy. All together all of the polishing cost $250 but that included shipping and those trim pieces are big and I built a crate for them out of Masonite and 2X4's so they wouldn't get damaged so about $75 of that is shipping. He is really worth it and a heck of a nice guy.

What did you do to get rid of the rust? Sandblast?

Everything was just light surface rust that had discolored everything. I sanded most of the machine down to metal with a DA, and some of it I used chemical striper. I did use one of those wheels that hook into a drill to get at some of the rust. I then filled any pits and primed. I do not have a sand blast cabnet yet. Although it is on my want list. I went today and bought a pressure washer and I will tell you what, that is something everyone needs. I have been taking my machines in the back of my truck and standing them up in the bed at the quater car wash to clean them but not anymore. I don't know how many of you have Meijers but they have a 1400 PSI electric powerwasher on sale for $68. It works great.
