I have the same machine Signguy posted here:  http://soda-machines.com/component/option,com_smf/Itemid,29/topic,7043.0/

We know of only two others.  They chromed all the bezels on their machines.  I do not think the chrome reflects the art deco look of the machine. 

I have stripped the paint off of the coin bezel and cleaned it with a scotch bright and baking soda.  It turned out ok but just wondering what ideas you guys have?

     Assuming that whatever you do to the coin entry bezel....you are also going
to do the same to the selection housing?     I would chrome plate them.

I first thought of Chrome plating them as well, but also may just try polishing the first on a buffing wheel. I believe they are aluminum and should shine up nice? if not Maybe something different that chrome.. maybe nickel plating? Not sure yet.
