Title: Refinishing Post by: on January 11, 2003, 11:52:23 pm I recently acquired an Ideal 55 Slider with Pepsi Logo on the front. It looks like the color was yellow on the front and blue around the sides. Does anyone know if this is correct. And what the paint codes are? I am also looking for the bottle cap catcher for it. The front has the embossed Pepsi-Cola. It also says "be sociable"

I think this is a cool looking paint job!
