I was considering painting a V39 white. I am not sure yet whether I will just paint the door and the top white or if I will paint the whole darn thing white. I am leaning towards solid white with the big 'coke in hand' decals on the front and sides. What do you think.

If this is for your own personal use I think its a great idea.
If you intend selling I'd think again. My limitted knowledge would suggest that un educated people want the two tone colour and as a seller you need to look to your broadest market...

I will just paint the door and the top white
This way only the bottom of the front door needs to be repainted before selling. |

I have a Vendo 39 that had been painted white then a 7up sign tacked over the coke logo to make it a 7up vendor... didn't look all that bad... and have seen a couple of Vendo 81's that where all white color scheme... red letters and some decals... didn't look too bad either.
If for personal use, do whatever you like best, but like Dave said if for resale right away.. stick with the more common design that the average consumer would like to buy.
Here is a picture of my white v39 that was 7up.

Great replies. I was worried about resale later. I have two V39s that I plan on restoring. My plan was to do the first one all red and then pin strip it, simular to some of the machines I have seen on the web sites. Then the other would be for my own personal use. It is my own personal machine that I was considering painting white. But nothing is set in stone.
How about cans vs bottles. I have bottle drums for both machines and they both work perfect. Is it worth replacing the drum with a modified after market drum capable of dispensing cans. My current plan was to restore it with the original drum and leave the can capable drum as an option.
I am somewhat new to this stuff as I have never purchased a machine with the intent of reselling it. But I have been an advid admirer and collector since 1989. This site is excellent and I am using this site for both entertainment and education. I am learning a lot. Thanks guys for all of your input.
P.S. I am actually finding parts much easier now that I have found this site. I am finishing a Vendo 110 that I have had for over 13 years. Its been painted for 12 of those. But it was missing the shelves. Now I have them. Soon I will be restoring a Pepsi Vendo 110. I can't wait to get started on it.

Wow
you are busy..
Personally I'd leave the pinstripes off. I think a machine looks so much smarter without them.
But that's a matter of individual taste.
The can drum.... Not sure how easy it would be to get hold of one at a reasonable price.
The original drum will only vend the small bottles (as you know) the modified drum for the later
V-39's will alllow the larger bottles bum first.
I'd love a can conversion drum for my V-39 but price and shipping make it a very expensive optional extra.

I've restored around 600 machines, and about 65% of the people that had a choice, those that bought the machines before I finished with them, preferred non pinstriped machines.

V-39's will alllow the larger bottles bum first. You got it backwards Dave - The original drum will hold the small Coke bottles 'bum' first and the modified drum will hold the King Size (10 oz.) bottles crown first. |

If you decide to paint the 38 in reverse colors be sure to post pictures. I think it would look pretty cool. I have some 110 parts from a machine that I am parting out. The coin door, mech,bezel are gone.

I understood Dave best, he described dispensing bum first, which is unusual for most soda machines. I'm sure I used a good many 39's when I was growing up but I can't remember ever opening that door and grabbing a bottle by the base. |
