Has anyone painted their Coke machine with Rustoleum spray cans?

  I do not have a spray gun and want to paint this in my basement. Money is tight right now and was wondering if this can be done? I checked Lowe's and they have the red and white with the new pull triger. I have the machine primered with Rustoleum spray can gray. So I need to wet sand and get the paint. I have a C-51. (Red and White)

Sure. Lots of thin layers. Let it dry well and a coat of good wax and it will be ok for indoor use. Won't hold up outside. Painting in confined spaces (basement) is not a good idea. Fumes are bad, the hot water heater pilot light can cause serious problems.

I Painted a VMC-56 with spray bombs once.

That's how I did this one after primering, but not inside the house. Definitely do it outside or in a better ventilated place than the basement.

I did this with a spray can and it turned out great!

I almost forgot about this one. This was done in Rustoleum.

I do all my small wall vending machines with cans. I don't have the equipment to do it any other way. They turn out great but don't expect that professional finish.

  Great. They all look good. I will now do the painting outside when it cools down (if it ever does). This is really great news. I really appreciate the feedbacks. Yes, I do have a gas water heater in the basement. My wife did not like me painting there because of the flumes. But it has just been so humid (around 70%) and I know it should be around 50% and the heat here in Western Kentucky has been in the 90's every day. When I primered the machine I had the deumidifyer (sp) going and it got the basement down to a little below 50%. I did get a headach.(sp). I have a big basement and part of it is a garage which I can close off from the reck room where I have the old jukebox etc. Thanks again. Should I try a put Rustoleum clear on the paint when done?  By the way, yes, it will stay indoors.

I used a couple of cans of clear over the paint on that 56 I did....can't hurt!
