Hi Guys

I recently bought another Vendo 83 (seems like there are alot of these around). Instead of painting the whole machine red I want to go with the white top/red body style. I have never painting a machine this style so here is my question:

How do you get the masking line from red to white perfectly matching even on the body and door together? The machine is totally disassembled so I will be painting them seperately, inside and out.

How do you guys do it?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Your best bet is to put the hinges back on long enough so that the door and cabinet line up. This will allow you to set up your painr scheme. terry

As Terry stated, this is best way!
Just use extra caution since the cabinet and door have been painted...

My six cents,
