Dr. Pepper's my favorite pop, but man do I hate the mint green color.   Oo

Joey, No offense to your machine the restoration is great.  I just can't deal with mint green.

Looks great Joey, should be a very cool machine.
it'll be sweet when done...
I'm curious however on why the dark colored powdercoat on the inside tub? are the shelves the same dark grey?
looks great, just curious..

The powdercoat is a gray hammertone and it looks awesome in person. It hides all the imperfections in the metal as a light powdercoat or zinc plating they all show up. Ive used this powdercoat on all the machines ive restored over the last 2-3 years and it holds up well. I will get some pictures of it this evening and post.

Joey,

Not to sound redundant, but the machine looks awesome ! ! !
Just wait til the chrome gets installed as well as the kick plate...

My six cents,

Jim

Here is some pics of the powdercoat that I use. It contrasts with the red very nice.





And thanks again Jim, Im very very happy with the way it turned out so far! Here it is with its friend, Maybe I need a Dr Pepper clock now?
