I did it all myself, mostly in the garage, painted it in the driveway. Luckily the light breeze carried the red cloud in an unobjectionable direction. I bought most of the decals from Funtronics but had the "have a Coke" custom made as they aren't available.
Thanks,
Nate

Paint: PPG Omni AU, base coat/clear coat, 2 coats of each. Applied with a Devilbiss conventional spray gun in my driveway.
Color: I'll have to check the cans and write back. The red is a long story, The previous owner of my house was Pres. of Coca Cola New England and had worked there since the late 40's. When he built my house (1950) he used many pieces of Coke bllboard as access panels. One such piece I found was dated 4-46 and in perfect condition not having seen sun for 50+ years. I buffed this out and had it scanned using PPG's "Prophet" system. This is the red. The white I obtained by taking the coin door off, buffing it out and having the same scanning done. I'll check the cans tonight for th epaint #'s
