Need Advice:Refinishing coin door
CM:
Certainly no expert, but I simply dremel'd away the old paint with a steel brush attachment to the metal and painted it with the hammered rustoleum. Since the paint itself is textured I did not really have to concern myself with scratches ;)

It does indeed depend on the door. The door I'm curently working on had the paint peeling of 40% of it. Why? The rust blooming underneath. I used paint remover to get most of the paint off, then I'm going to use a paint remover wheel to get most of the rest off. I have taken most of the dents out with a pair of plyers, and now I have to do nothing but wait to save enough $$$ to get it (and my other door) coated.
It's not terribly expensive, but it is when the only person in your household working is your wife.
