I like the red and green but I think there is too much green. I think that just a green pin stripe to add a little 1930's coke chest flavor to it.

I am of the mindset get it as close to original as possible. Stop imagining it coated in wood grain contact paper .......

I like the red with white lettering and green pin stripe. Can't wait to see it redone.

I am ashmed to say it but I kind of liked the woodgrain. There is no way that I would use the vinyl stuff, but if you could get it painted on...
Eric, great job on getting some examples for everyone to look at. You da' man.

Hello Glen, Awesome cooler. I am kicking myself for not buying it. I liked the wood grain picture myself. For it rarity I would go with the wood grain. If you need a painter that does that kind of work I know a guy locally that will be in your area soon. I could have him drop by a give you an estimate. He said he might be going to Ventura on Sunday. I could get him to email some pictures of his woodgrain work. Let me know if you are interested. Regardless of how you finish it, it's gonna be totally cool!

I'm sure you will (or have)... but be sure to measure all text and logos before stripping it down... My images after looking at them I made the Logos too big (I was just in a hurry... sorry).... I also just noticed... there looks to be a script type test running up the side at an angle.... Does it say refresh yourself or something?.... I'm really looking forward to this restoration and it's gonna look good in our gallery here (and machine area) '>
We'll be watching... Eric
