Coal River Vending Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 I have a new machines that just needs random touch ups. What spray is best or would brush be better. Talking quarter and smaller spots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orsd Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Touch ups always look like golpher. Either respray or go buy some decals. Like the “this machine accepts dollar coins” or the “calories count, check then choose” decals from NBS. Then strategically use them to cover the spots. http://www.nbsinc.net/media/wysiwyg/CMS-media/Cold_Drink_Catalog_09-2014.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lacanteen Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 It's almost impossible to color match paint that has been sun faded over many years. The official color is gloss black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flintflash Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Paint the whole thing. As everyone else said, spot painting looks bad. If you don't want to spray the paint, don't brush it on. ROLL it. We started painting our machines by rolling the paint and they come out looking FANTASTIC. Rolling the paint on will also cover up those deeper scratches or previous paint chips, where spraying sometimes highlights those areas. I can find out which rollers my service department uses for you if you would like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moondog Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 1 hour ago, Coal River Vending said: What type of paint? enamel? Other? A specific brand? sanding necessary? I always used Rustoleum. You can buy it in quart cans which will do two complete machines. I used Satin Black with a 1/4 nap roller. Always looked great. You'll find that the paint sticks better if you give it a light sanding first, maybe 100 grit on a pad sander. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flintflash Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 10 hours ago, Coal River Vending said: What type of paint? enamel? Other? A specific brand? sanding necessary? Yep, just like Moondog, we use Rustoleum Satin Black. We use a small palm sander to smooth out imperfections in the old paint and to take that original smooth sheen off, so that the paint rolls on nice and adheres well to the machine. We use the same on our snack machines as well. Typically, we will TufFront the face of the machine and paint the sides, top, and back. We use 1/4 rollers or 3/8 for a nice textured look on the snack machines. The machines look brand new when we're finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flintflash Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 I wish I had some. All the equipment is out on location right now. There are a couple in the back that are slated to get refinished. When complete, I could try to post pics then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coal River Vending Posted August 9, 2018 Author Share Posted August 9, 2018 Got a gallon of gloss (all Lowe’s had). Also foam rollers, guy says it will make it smooth. Thanks for the help. I’ll post pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJs Vending Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 I am working on my 5591 DN and I sanded it down with a 200 grit and then used a quality primer filler and then use the Rustoleum gloss black with a 1/4 nap roller. Well I think is did something wrong I didn't like the results,some sections look good but other don't. Those sections have alot of tiny little bobbles in the paint. I rolled it the second time and still looks the same. I was recommended to mix the Rustoleum paint with mineral spirit. I need help guys. What is the reason of the bad spots?

AZVendor Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Did you wash and dry it first or use cheesecloth to remove all the dust before painting? Did you do all the same prep to all sides? Any variation could give you different results. Are you painting in a cold environment? Is that why you diluted it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't use the cheese cloth but I did washed it with a microfiber cloth many times with water. I am in Arizona I did it yesterday around 4 pm so it was warm outside. I was told by homedepot to dilute the paint. I feel bad about this project not going the way I wanted. I didn't sand after the primer should of have done it? I also waited to paint after the primer was nice and dry. But I did notice a few spots with painting with the primer it form tiny bubbles very little. I think I should've stop and sand it down.

My first attempts all looked like golpher, and I had to redo most of them. Were you rolling it over and over again to try to smooth it out? That will cause the primer to soften and mix into the paint and create bubbles. (If you didn’t let the primer dry thoroughly beforehand) Also, thin with acetone.

JJs Vending Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Yes I rolled it and rolled it and it looks like crap. If I was to wrap the machine (the areas I painted) do I need to sand it down for the wrap can stick or it shouldn't matter? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
