Painting a Coin Door. Tutorial?
Justin:
I just received my 1983 coin door for a Centipede cab, and it is in pretty good condition. (7-8 out of 10)
There are some rusty spots, and some chipped paint areas. Does anyone know of a good tutorial to get this back in shape? I remember reading that the best approach is to sand it all off first, and the use black rustoleum paint.
Can someone point me in the right direction before I screw this up out of pure impatience?
Thanks!

Two words: powder coating.
Justin:
ummm elaborate? :)
BillyJack:
Isn't powder coating a little cost prohibitive? I mean it was back in my 4-wheeler days... powder coating a frame was a lot of money. I know it isn't "that" big, but it can't be cheap... unless it's a DIY job (which I saw once.)

I fixed mine the quick'n'dirty way simply sanding the worst parts and then spraying the whole thing with Hammerite hammer paint. It seemed to work well although I don't think it has a "genuine" coin door look if that's what you're going for. Also I'm not sure I would have done it for an "original" door like yours.
