Soul2122 Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 What is the best way to remove graphics from pop machines. I recently purchases 20 machines for 100.00 bucks each. Most have cosmetic issues. I ordered the new graphics but is tgere a better way to remove the old ones vs using a sander? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCOTT1963 Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 if it's vinyl you should be able to peel them off If not you can use a wallpaper removal wheel (with the teeth) running it all over the decal to create holes and paint it with an Orange based paint stripper. Remove with putty knife after it bubbles. Messy and a lot of work. Or sand it smooth not remove. Since you ordered graphics already it's gonna be gruntwork to smooth them out or remove the decal. There is a company in Florida that makes metal skins for Vending machines and pop machines, not too expensive either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cvending Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 If the side panels are decals, heat them with a heat gun/blow dryer to loosen the adhesive. It will take a little time, but is fairly simple to accomplish. Just take your time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 I agree with cvending, use a heat gun to soften the glue and peel it off. Why on earth would you recommend your method, Scott. Is that the way VE does it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
