Does it stink up the house and oven?

A little bit, not overwhelming though.  You don't want the oven too hot, only 150-180 degrees.  And only for 15-30 minutes.
Ken Layton:
Of course if your like me I use wrinkle paint which requires the oven bake 190 degrees for 45 minutes to one hour for best results. Besides, I love the smell of paint. ;)

I have a door exactly like mmmPeanutButter. I stripped it by hand using course steel wool, then applied a special primer that adheres to stainless steel. The primer is from Duron called 'Stain-Killer 2'. It is water-based. I lightly sanded in between coats, then applied a 'Plastic-Kote' semi-gloss Jet Black (Duron also) to the coin door. Looks great! Just takes some time, though.

Great advice folks. Sounds like there are 3 or 4 ways to do it... (for example, I also heard that to get that original powder coat texture, you use stone paint, and then sand it down, and then add the black layer).

I've got a Midway door just waiting for this....

Don't forget the option of actually having it powder coated.  You may be able to find a power coater that could "throw in" your coin door on an existing run.  Black, and black wrinkle finish are usually common runs for powder coaters.  That is what I did for my metal control panels...cost about $10 bucks each.  Pricey but worth it considering that the primer and spray paint could cost over $5 anyway.
