I have a generic 81 that I am restoring to its orginial Dr. Pepper. Does anyone out there know the lime green Dr. Pepper paint code? Also, I have a porcelain sign that came off of a Selectivend S-48 it measures 6.5" X 17".  Were these Dr. Pepper signs interchangeable among all of their machines, or is there a special porcelain sign that went for each? I would like to use what I have, but I want to make sure it is the right one (shape and size) for my 81. Also if anyone out there has the round signs that go on the sides and wants to sell them, I would be interested.  '<img'>

Hey Guymbo...
 Welcome to the site... see you've posted here before...
Someone here will be able to lead you to the right place....
Meanwhile post some images... that will help to see if the sign you have will work
plus give us all here a chance to see a hard to find machine in the restoration process.
Good Luck!

Congrats on owing such a rare machine. I believe the signs are the same and should interchange. do you have anything in the green color? What I do is take it to my paint store and have them scan the surface to get the color.
