repainting coin door
MonitorGuru:
Strip, sand, then PRIME, bake, then place a couple coats of FLAT paint (it wont run), then a layer of hammered paint, bake, then a final coat of semi-gloss black paint, bake.
The extra flat black layers help build up a good base and cause you to be less likely to overspray the final glossier paints that run too easy.
mmmPeanutButter:
I used rustoleum textured paint as opposed to the hammered. I think it looks really good.
I used CitriStrip to strip it, then a little sanding, a couple coats of primer and like 6 coats of textured paint. I didn't do any baking, although I guess it could have saved me some time.
SirPeale:
The Rust-Oleum textured palnt doesn't run either, and it's closer to an original finish than the hammered stuff. It appears to be self-leveling as well.
MonitorGuru is right about the priming, though.
Santoro:
Bake!?
Does it stink up the house and oven?
MonitorGuru:
Even though I live in the upper midwest, i do all my painting in the summer when we're around 85-95 degrees, and my baking is out in the hot sun. A good days worth of baking is probably the same as a 190 degree oven, considering its black paint, I'm sure the surface gets to at least 150 from the sun.
I don't like hammered as a final coat, but if I use it as a second to last coat, the final coat seems to smooth out some of the hammering and make it look more like the flat blobs that the original powder coating had. I'd suppose textured would work similarily, though again, I'd want a smooth coat topping it, and dont leave it as a final coat..i've noticed its too sandpaper like otherwise.
