William coindoor repaint
« on: June 02, 2014, 09:15:04 pm »
I'm restoring a Williams coindoor and am going to try repainting it using Brian Kelly's method seen in the video below: flat or semi-flat black spray paint first, followed with spattering of gloss black paint, to replicate the original look.  If anyone here has ever tried this method, I would like to hear any tips you may have, including what brand/type of spray paint used, as well as photos of the finished coindoor.  thanks guys.

Hammered black is the paint I use on coin doors.

Hammertone is correct for some doors, like early 80's Taito Stratovox and such, but not this one.

^^^ What they said. Hammered paint. Easy and looks real good.
I don't think Ive ever seen a door without the hammered look, but I am definitely no expert.

+1 on Hammered Black.  You don't even need primer since it's Rustoleum brand.  Just make sure you sand everything down.  I've had the best experience when sanding it down to the metal or the old paint will tend to flake off.
