Sanding and spray painting works out OK in a pinch... you could even go nutz and get that BBQ grill high temperature stuff that you cure in your oven. for an extra durable finish... (although not sure how you'd get the "wrinkle" if that's what you are going for...)

If I wanted the wrinkle effect, I'd just use wrinkle paint.
It's really nifty stuff, and I even tried it.
I think it would work great...IF I could just do it right.
You're supposed to spray it on in three thick coats. I thought I made some darned nifty thick, even coats, but I only got patches of wrinkle. What did wrinkle looked great, though.
As this stuff is around $6.00 a can, I figured it'd just be easier (and cheaper in the long run) if I do it the right way, and powder coat them.

I was going to suggest doing it yourself. But if $8 is a problem then I know DIY it out.
Here's a link for enyone that might want to try.

Well, no, $8.00 isn't a problem, it's the $40 or so each that is a problem. I'm looking for references for good work AND price. Somewhere in the middle.
I probably will end up going to Kev in CT after all, I'll just make it a day trip.
As for your link, this would be great for someone that's thinking of doing this quite a bit, but I'm pretty sure I'm just going to be doing just these few, and be done with it.
Although...perhaps not. A guy I know is offering 12 coin doors of some random types to me...

Oh yeah, mustn't forget about sandblasting.
