The two tone Pepsi 8 is one of the very few machines I think look better then as it was released in the wilds from the factory

All blue, just like the originals.  The solid color machines really pop when they're displayed next to each other.

Agree. Do both then you can decide when you have them side by side.

I like both but I would go original

I like them both, but to me the solid blue looks more "antique" like it should. The two tone looks like a modern day version to spruce it up a bit.

all blue with some well placed decals to liven it up a bit

I'm Torn as like them both as well.... I'm leaning toward all blue, but then if this where a 7up machine, I like the two toned as the all white just looks too plain to me.

to each their own I guess.

I think it would be impossible to do a Pepsi any nicer than Bob's.  Regardless of color scheme.

The one thing I never liked on making these two toned is the banding.
First one I did I used that "chrome" molding made of plastic and really didn't like the look

Then on the 2nd one I did I actually used some original Stainless Steel banding that would have been on Coke 81D and drilled holes and mounted that after it had been restored.. looks much nice.
