I take all the parts off the door then put Jasco paint remover on it. Be careful if sand/bead blasting as you can warp the door.

im guessing you are repainting it black?  if so, just take out the coin rejects and everything that you dont want black....then take a paint brush or some good spray paint and go to town.  i mean, all coin doors have a kind of bumpy finish.  i spray painted mine and it looks brand new now.  of course if you dont like it, you can always sandblast and start over!  just trying to save you some time. ;D
