best way to restore coin door (paint)?
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.

I think I picked up one designed for refinishing lawn furniture. It probably has the hammered finish already in it or there is an option among the spray paint.

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.
