MidStateVending Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 I have an older, black snack machine in great working condition... it just has a lot of scratches on the left and right side (front looks great). Is there an easy way to repaint this machine? If so, what type of paint? Brush or spray? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddieMac Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 I just use semi-gloss black paint and roll it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magiccity726 Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 I just get a gloss black paint and I roll it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddieMac Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 I don't use gloss, it's too shiney and seems to show the minor dents more. That's why I use semi-gloss. I tried flat, but it just looks terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used a roller and even had my 7 y/o help me. It took no time at all and the result is fantastic.... The hardest part was cleaning the rollers. Thanks!

AZVendor Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 The rollers are disposable - just throw them away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arkhusker Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Have painted several. Sherwin Williams semi-gloss enamel. Gives the machine a thick coat that is scratch resistant and looks good. Here it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
