I'm looking for another "things go better with Coke" sticker.    The approx. size is 3" wide x 4" tall. 
Any help would be great, thanks.

"Things Go Better With Coke" was more of a 60's slogan for Coke. 

I believe that sticker on your 81 was added sometime after the machine was built in the 50's.

Coke used the "Have A Coke" slogan in the 50's...You might want a sticker with that slogan instead, or just peel it off and leave it with no sticker on the door.

Just my 2 cents.

I took the sticker off hoping it would look good, but the paint is really faded (except for under the label) so I thought I'd look for another.  I'm not sure any "period-correct" labels would cover the faded area. 
Funtronics website doesn't show the label I need in the same size.
I do like this label from funtronics, but i'm not sure if it will cover the area needed.

As discussed in another thread titled Dirty 81... use some rubbing compound and other paint cleaners.. you might be able to blend that painted area into the surounding areas to make it look good... just a thought
