I busted out with the rustoleum. It already had texture so it didn't need any more. It just needed a different color. Powder coating sounds like more time and money than it's worth. Spray paint is like $3 and it's not like it has to survive WW3. When was the last time you spray painted something and it went to hell just sitting there in your house. |

I hope that's tape in the slot where the coin rejection thingies are... and that you didn't stone fleck over the red coin rejection thingies. (not that it would matter to me... was just wondering) *shrug* Rampy --- End quote --- You're just a spoil sport. A 1,000,000 mcd LED will light that puppy up just fine, thank you very much! Whatever you do, don't look directly into one of those suckers though! Sharks with lazer beams stuck to there heads hurt less! |

To each his own eh? Chris |

But what I did on my own coin door (which came out far, far better than I thought it would) was completely strip the door of parts. I took the metal pieces and scrubbed it down with a brush and dish detergent, rinsed, and toweled dry. I lay it down and let it dry for an hour. Next, I gave the door a light coating of gloss black Rustoleum, followed by two more to brighten it up. Since the door was already in really good shape, I didn't need to take this down to the metal. Followed up by baking in the oven @ 175 degrees for an hour. I cleaned the mechs, and gave them a treatment of WD-40. Took the eject mech apart, and cleaned the 20 years of finger good off with some degreaser. I only wish I'd taken some before, during and after pics. |

Depending on where you go, you can do a door for $10 or so. Yes, more than $3 for a can of paint, but with a nice factory style finish. |
