It looks like you have a paint scheme picked out, But I would stay with original colors. That green was part of the Deco era and was original. It will hold re-sale value with original paint colors. Anything else will lessen the value.

Well normally I would agree with you 100%.  If this were going to be resold then I would keep it as original as possible.  But since this is going to end up in our game room until I die from the candy in it...I'll probably have to take some artistic license with the color and also to keep the wife happy so it "blends".  I've seen plenty of pictures of the paint on these originally and I have to believe they used surplus WWII tank paint on these...  bust gut laughing

That trim is most likely aluminum. If so, it was not chromed. It was bright anodized.

I just got the dust off them and your right...stamped alluminum.  I'm debating on the re-chroming issue.  They look okay for the most part but the mirror holder at the top is pretty scratched up.  Hopefully I can find another one because I would like to keep these original.  I also noticed there are some vertical groves in them (decorative) that originally had paint in the grove to match the cabinet.  Any idea on what kind of paint I should use on the aluminum?  Guessing just an enamel will work or maybe a model's paint since this won't be exposed to the elements.

I thought this was interesting.  If you look below the mirror you can see there is a shelf.  And within the shelf there is capsule like opening.  It was painted over but some of it was scratched away and it's actually glass.  Behind the glass I can see print.  Very excited to see what the message is there.  I'm really hoping for something like "Drink your Ovaltine" or "Buy War Bonds"   rotflmao

I'll dismantle it and let you know what I find.

Sigh...well I got to the "Secret Message" hidden by the painted over glass panel.  Unfortunately is had nothing to do with drinking your Ovaltine   Tongue Out  Says: "Miles Vending Service" in the hand written part.

I have nothing to contribute here other than to say, "thank you" to Bettor Slots and FORDSBS for posting this log with pictures of the restoration of the machine -- it's a very interesting project, and I'm anxious to see the final results!  K+ to both of you.

TUESDAY.  Got primer on. Tomorrow it gets block sanded & primed again.
The black speckles you see is dusting of black to show up when we block sand to make sure all imperfections are taken care of.

Here’s an update. We’ll get 2 colors on this week. Then we let it sit until Tuesday to make sure we don’t get solvent pop in when we put decals on.
Solvent pop is when gasses come from paint curing and cause a bubble of air between decal & cabinet. Tuesday we’ll sand clear & put on decals & clear again
Will post pics after painted.

Looks like something that Mr. Willy Wonka himself would be proud of.  Beautiful work Ford!  Can't wait to see the finished product.
