Ok, I'm looking again for someone to paint my cav 22 cooler. Since the last paint guy bailed on me and I assume was scared off by the painting project.
I like the look of all white and red lettering, but I dont think the lids will look right, white with the silver.
So I'm leaning to all red white lettering.
Not really feeling this original red/white combo any more.
Which way should I paint it?
Was also told I can get a discount if I go ahead and strip all the old paint myself. Been there and done that before, labor intense.
A little short on cash being I just put alot into my home business and my daughters plane ticket to camp.
I'm ready to have it done and the cooling system working,
cooling drinks for the summer.
If not then I still have the Choice Vend cooling.

I like the two tone, but understand the dilemma.
So I say do it in Pepsi blue! <ducks and runs>

Nice looking machine Jasmine. My suggestion:call a mobile detail buisness who will buff and wax it for a fraction of the cost of paint and lettering

I could do that. Thing is, the red paint around the top directly in front of the lids has peeled and is rusted.
Thus needing to save this from being eaten alive by rust.
Still have an issue with the hinges on the lids being rusted out on the
outside hinges. (did that make sense)?
I have them apart and working on getting the hinges off. But being
female I'm having an issue with not enough muscle to break the screws loose.
Just may have to bite the bullet and haul it to a auto body place and let
them tackle it for me.

I think you should keep it two-tone...
All white looks like a deep freezer....
But here you go.....

Jasmine,
I see those cap catchers fairly frequently on eBay - usually go for about $40 plus S&H.
