So the big question are you going paint it Dr. Pepper green or leave it white? either way will look cool

[cmike101]

Well the case is green under the the white paint ,but its solid white to the metal on the door..I really want it like it came out of the store (correct colors)..Were any v 56's like that ,white door green case?

[cmike101]

So how do i tell what the correct sign marquee looks like, im so new to this i dont know if i could tell the differance?

There had been a white with green DP machine on craigslist near me, but now I can't find it.  You might just go to google images and type in Dr. Pepper machine or even vintage dr. pepper machine in and search and you will get a lot of pics of various ones.  I am sure there are a few people here with examples but that might save you a little time and you could see more various ways they were done.

Just want to say welcome to the forum, I myself am another noob at this, nice find on the machine.  Looks like a decent machine you got there.

Thanks Red Sparks,did you see the price for that dp machine 800.00 seems steep..Im not sure what color now to paint it..Sinse im going to keep this machine for myself..What would be the very cheapest way to remove the rust from the (i guess pan) bottom where the insert slides in ,and just patch the holes?  I cant afford very much..Thanks for any suggestions !!
