Title: Jacobs 50 Pepsi - Single or double dot...
Post by: davethebirdman on November 15, 2007, 03:41:22 pm

Okay Guys need your help here...

Been down to the bodyshop who are sorting out my pepsi machine and they are getting ready to spray it.

What do I go for??? Invtially I wanted Double Dot Dark Blue but now I'm not too sure.
The original colur was single dot but the machine is dated 1951, the year they changed over so I figure both would be authentic.

I have a couple of paint odes I've managed to get from the site

Dupont Intense Blue & PPG Consept "Spark Blue". Anyone used iether or could recommend another.

Any help as always gratefully appreciated. I'm just hoping that fater two years I might sip my first pepsi from the machine at Christmas...

Dave

       My advice is to disregard what color is original to the machine,
rather ask your wife which color blue she prefers. Giving her such an
important decision could help sway her in your favor.

I have done exactly as advised...

The Pepsi Machine will now be known as "her machine."

Guess that means I can get another...

SO what colors did she go with... hopefully something close to original? and not bright purple and pink or something? :biggrin:
