Title: Pepsi V56 Paint
Post by: DrDragon on October 11, 2007, 01:29:54 pm
I have a paepsi V56 in the red white and blue. I saw an older thread from USSEnterprise that someone gave some suggestions. Is there any consensus as to what paint to get for the three colors?

Easiest but heaviest way would be to take the machine to your paint supplier they an put a small computer on your machine and pull the paint codes.

I believe it's way too faded. It was an outdoor machine. Actually it was under water as well and rusted but not through. I'm a sucker for lost causes. but it will live again. The pic above is not my machine.

I would think that the coke red and white would be close enough for those two colors.
Somebody here should have the Pepsi light blue code.

Colamachines.com used to list the lighter Pepsi blue paint code, but it's been removed since I've been there last
