  View original topic: Vintage Cooler Chest 'Repop'
OBSESSIVE Thu Feb 11, 2010 8:58 am

I just picked this vintage repop up from a local furniture store. They were selling these to promote the 2010 Olympics. My plan is to sand the 'Hockey Canada' logo off and respray all red with my detailing company logo on it. I do auto detailing specializing in paint correction (scratch and swirl removal). This might do well at shows and cruises for advertising instead of labelling up the car which isn't going to happen. LOL.
It's a neat little cooler. Functional too. :)





What d'ya think? :D

How much was it?

you may want to think about picking up a few extra and sell 'em on line.
I'd be willing to spring for one if the price wasn't killer.

you can probably get away with carefully sanding the logo away and buffing out the paint without having to respray.

I think my wife picked it up for $50.Not sure if that would be considered good or bad. LOL. I think it's good. It's NEW. :)
On the painting note....I have a welding company in Ontario, Canada and have a spray booth at my fingertips. Sanding and painting is not an issue. Might even spray it to match the car. ;)

In the coke cooler world the smaller the more expensive and more desired. The smaller ones are rarer and much lighter to carry when full. So I think ya did good. Especially if u do it up with your custom logos!
