I originally thought the hoppers were grey but they kind of look chrome.  Are they?  Also have you had any problems with paint lifting?  This last one I'm working on is giving me fits.  Every time I paint the base more than 1 coat it is lifting up everywhere.

I'm kind of limited in my locating because I won't go in a bar.  I would probably do a bar and grill unless it is mainly a drinking establishment. I believe I would start with gumballs only. I have a few that are gumballs only and they do really well.

Thought I'd better clarify that.  I used to have a problem with alcohol.  Kicked it 6 years ago but the temptation and desire is still there so I don't like to go in bars.

There could be some kind of oil from your fingers or the environment around the machine that prevented the paint from adhering.  Did you prime first with Rustoleum or Kilz?

No I didn't prime.  Generally don't have to. I'm in the process of taking it back to bare metal.  It will be primed this time.

I've painted 2 more since that one and have had no problems with them.

I have had problems with bubbling and tracked it back to the type cleaner I was using. now I use soapy water and havent had any problems since...I guess I left a chemical residue with the cleaner
