Okay, so I've identified the machine as a V-56, thanks Creighton...I called Fun-Tronics and they were able to help me out. I would like to paint the inside and out, but not quite sure what to do. I've been told that HammerTone is good for the inside, but haven't heard of anything for the outside. Any ideas? The machine used to be a Pepsi machine, so obviously some sanding will be required, but after that I have no clue. Any help would be appreciated. Also, has anyone restored a CSS-141?

Toy_Soldier77,
Once you sand the exterior of the machine down, apply body filler where needed and sand with 80 grit paper and follow up with 180 grit to eliminate the deep sanding lines. Apply 2-3 coats of poly primer and block sand with 400 wet sandpaper. When you are ready to paint apply a coat of primer sealer and then apply top coat paint. The top coat can be a base coat/clear coat or a single stage. When you get this far let me know and I'll help you the best I can.

What's a good color to get for the outside of a V-56, preferably something fairly inexpensive. Plan to powder coat, but no time soon.

I'll post later my color code for coke "RED". It is currently snowing outside, so I'm being lazy about walking out to my shop.
