What paint has everyone used on their coin doors? I used the Rustoleum hammered black, but after looking at the back side that I painted it seems to be too glossy. Also, the hammered look adds some texture, but it isn't the same kind as the original. Maybe a dull coat on top will help? |

Looks pretty much like the original. Only thing I don't like about them is the length - they're pretty short. So I can get them thru the hole just fine, but I haven't tried securing one down yet. --- End quote --- I'll check that out but I'll probably not use anything with the arcadeshop sticker. I'll wait for the metal plate from thisoldgame. |

However, at the time I primed it, I hadn't decided on a top coat yet. Didn't think I'd end up with a rustoleum. Thanks for the compliments. |
