Why not just put a nice pic inside and make it a peak hole  ;D

Or if you are adventureous, build some sort of a window that opens when a coin is inserted so they can see the pic  :applaud:


something like this. A penny arcade



Marsupial:

Bondo is meant for automotive body repair. Take some metal screen that they sell for the purpose, bondo it, sand smooth, paint with hammered paint.

I plan to do that on one of my over/under door. Shouldn't be too hard.

bkenobi:

Actually, if you want arcade accurate...stick some bubble gum on it.  You might want to put some in the lock too for authenticity.

DeLuSioNal29:

The best thing to do is to buy an electrical box with those metal slugs that they have on them.  Use metal bond to glue the metal slug on the back of the door.  (Acts like liquid weld).  Once it has set and is completely dry.  Use bondo to fill in the holes.  Sand smooth (use 220 grit on the final sanding, use 60 grit on the first sanding to grind it down faster).  Use Rustoleum hammered paint.  It won't even look like it's there when you are done!
