I don't know about a scheme but I do know that they look real good with just a solid color and a bit of polish work.

You can do a red with white top like a coke machine and use right above the embossing as your break line. Red Coca Cola decal on the white and will look pretty cool.

I like the solid, but I think the front moldings in a contrasting color, would make it stand out

I like the solid color. The turquoise is good. Maybe a yellow, or pink from that era. I'd say don't try to make it what it isn't. It's not a Coke machine, so I wouldn't try to make it look like one.

Find out the year and paint it the color of a popular muscle car from that time period. No flames or anything like that. Just a solid color. I think those look cool.
Just my .02

I vote for solid.
The turqouise one is beautiful.
I think the nice embossing should be destroyed if you paint the them. They stand out best solid.
Maybe if you wish have two tone paint. Try one color at the cabinet and little darker or lighter on the doors.
