best way to restore coin door (paint)?
<< < (2/4) > >>
RayB:
I use Tremclad, black semi-gloss rust paint. It doesn't have that bumpy look to it like powdercoating, but it looks just as good.
Dudeman:
I used truck undercoating that I got at the local parts store. It has a decent rough finish to it and is pretty tough.

Don't get the rubbery stuff though (like Herculiner).
HighNoon:
After sanding I primered it, gave the front a light wetsand (1500), then I sprayed it with rustoleum (sp) satin black.

Rather than a few heavy coats, I applied it in lighter coats several minutes apart.  Then the coin-door baked in the sun for around 1/2 hour or so.

Came out very nice.

Is the hammered finish what gives the "bumpy" look to the paint?

Thanks everyone for your feedback.  It's appreciated...
Dudeman:
Yes. If you go to your local home improvement store, they should have some. take a look at the cap. It shows they "bump" they talk about.

I like the look, but beware. For some reason, even though the paint is black, it has a distinct grey sheen to it.
