Title: Painting a Cavalier USS-8-64 Post by: Coke536 on December 29, 2015, 04:58:00 pm I've removed the door on my Cavalier USS-8-64 Coke machine and want to sand and re-paint the white paint area (see the attached pictures) using Rust-Oleum and then putting on ~3 coats of clear coat to protect the paint. Is there a way to remove the metal piece that's painted white from the rest of the machine? I've removed several screws that I thought would separate the white painted area, but so far it's not coming out. If it can't be removed, I'll paint it in place and make sure I mask off the other areas well.
Is spray Rust-Oleum paint the right paint to use or are there better choices. I don't want to go through the expense of power coating.

Send me your email via message and I will send it over.
Thanks, Tom Title: Re: Painting a Cavalier USS-8-64 Post by: Creighton on January 13, 2016, 06:22:43 pm Rust-Oleum is good paint. The nozzle can be a problem. Krylon does a better job of consistent spray. Whatever you choose it helps to warm the can in water to 75 degrees or so. Shake for at least 3 minutes before the warm up and a couple after. Several light coats better than one thick.
