I plan on moving out of mom and dads place in a few months perhaps with a bit of cash, I think I may move into a house with a couple buddies. Something I have always wanted is a vending machine full of beer ( if it was for personal use it would be set to free-vend of course). I was thinking living with a couple alcoholics like myself, we often run out of beer in the middle of the night after the stores have closed... If i could put a hundred cans of beer in an accessible area like garage or something and set the price at 1.50 or 2.00 dollars it could cover my beer bill.

Anyways, I wont live with buddies forever and eventually I would like my machine to become part of my mancave decour. So I would really like to affordably make it look "legit" with red paint, and instead of the icy pepsi plastic on the front an ice cold dripping wet BUDWEISER!

How would i get something made like the front plastic piece with a beer on it? Also what about the side, a giant sticker or something?

How would i get the graphics in such resolution and who would make this stuff at a reasonable pricepoint?

You're an idiot, probably a nigger too.

ask a sign buisness... you should be able to do something good with a massive vynl sticker. Wort case just use the logos only on the button area, and just deal with the icy pepsi can on the front.

I'm pretty sure you can just go the the manufacture website and they will print it out for you...

I'm not a vending machine expert, but I'm pretty sure the pepsi bottle on the front is just a big semi-translucent plastic piece behind the plexiglass and in front of a backlight. If that's the case you could just pull it out, have a sign company make something similar with your favorite beer on it, then slide that in.

I'm pretty sure that's all there is to it too. I think I looked into this one time because I had a similar idea.

Better idea though:
Get a bottle machine, get 100 20 oz bottles, make mixed drinks in all the bottles, ???, profit!

Genius. Forward this to all fraternities in the nation.

The surge of date-rape cases will show your success
