Title: VMC Pepsi 81 Finished. Post by: Funtronics on June 10, 2014, 07:44:21 am Finally finished the VMC Pepsi 81 that I bought from John at the Chicago show. This one will go to a local guy here that has a huge John Deere collection. Not sure how that blue is going to go with his green. :tounge: He is also buying an Eco air meter from me that I just finished. It's amazing how you restore something to keep for yourself and that seems to be what everyone wants to buy.

Title: Re: VMC Pepsi 81 Finished. Post by: pinballdude on June 10, 2014, 09:58:50 am Just curious...how many different shades of Pepsi Blue are used in the round top machines? I ask because this is lighter than the 81 in your avatar. And that shade seems lighter than the blue used on the Pepsi one in Walters' book.
PS: I'm not too bright when it comes to this, what's the box by your user name called? Title: Re: VMC Pepsi 81 Finished.

This blue is a little darker than the picture makes it look due to the flash. You can use whatever color you like. I try to find a spot on the original machine that I am restoring and take it to a paint shop and have them do a proctor. Which is taking a picture of the paint and matching it.

Lighting really can change the appearance. Jim Title: Re: VMC Pepsi 81 Finished. Post by: Sarman47 on June 10, 2014, 09:11:56 pm Great looking machine.
