How to refinish a Coin Door?
kelemvor:
I got a coin door with my cab but it's old and pretty beat up. I want to repaint it so it looks nice but am not sure the best way to get the current paint off or if that's even necessary.
I'm assuming some sort of wire brush to scrape off what I can and then just a coat or two of black spray paint... Any other advice? Should I try to sand it somehow maybe or anything else?
Thanks.
MrMojoZ:
According to my car painter friends you want to at least take the shiney off of it with some scotch-brite.
kelemvor:
I do have Dremel Tool I've used like twice. Maybe there's an attachment for that... hmm.
MrMojoZ:
More than you need if you are just going to be spray painting it. Just take the top layers off, you don't need bare metal. My coindoor had some clearcoat on it, after a good rub down the paint is dull and ready to be painted over.

I used a wire brush attachment on my drill(available at Home Depot) to take all of the old paint off. Worked well. Primed and then repainted...looks good as new.
