I went with the powder coating and I like the way it turned out. I had the door done in a black wrinkle finish and the coin entry slots done in a chrome powder coat (looks silver though). It cost me $40 but I thought it was worth it. It's a durable finish that should last for many years.

$40 sounds like a really good price.  If you bought the paint and primer, you would have spent $15-20 (that hammered finish stuff is pretty pricey).  Did they do the prep work for you (removing the old paint)?  If so, you did really good on price IMO.

Yeah they did everything. I took it apart and brought the coin door, frame and coin chutes to them. They sand blasted them or whatever they do before powder coating and I picked up the pieces all finished. All I had to do was put them back together. Powder coating is an incredibly durable finish.

What did you do for logo rivets?

They aren't really rivets. The label is stuck on with double stick tape. The "rivets" are from a craft store and are not really rivets. The are more for show. I'm watching the rivet thread waiting to see what you guys can find. csa3d had a thread about this a couple of years ago but I don't think he ever found anything.

This is what they are.
