repainting coin door
xar256:
I stripped my coin door down to bare metal with a wire stripper attechment for my drill <you REALLY want a dust mask for that :P > and I just painted it up with Tremclad Gloss black <I ended up doing the plastic too since the previous owner just gave the whole door a quick shot of black spray paint before Ebaying it. Man it was a pain to get the clear plastic cleaned up <but a little elbow grease and the right chemicals, and it worked great>
Xar256 ;D

A better look at the plastics. These had to be partially rebuilt with epoxy, before they were usable.

Does any of you guys ever put clearcoat on your coin doors or bins? I just painted my coin bin with Rust-Oleum textured paint, and now i'm wondering if I should put clearcoat on it to protect it from scratches from the drawer (or whatever it's called) sliding in and out of the bin.
MonitorGuru:
Clearcoat may be too shiney. I'd cover the textured with a coat of semi-gloss black.
I do this all the time using any color of hammered as the second to the last coat, then cover it with semi-gloss black as the final coat to remove the extreme sheen of the hammered.
shawshank:
I tried a clear coat and the coat kept on drying with a very fine white powder in certain spots. It was really annoying so I sanded away the clear coar and went back to a semi-gloss black finish.
Anyone know where I can find a lock for my door?
