How to refinish a Coin Door?
Kevin Mullins:
I've always used aerosol bedliner for trucks and then a light mist of either clear gloss or gloss black just to add a sheen to it.
If you try this method just remember.... a little goes a loooong way.
You can coat a coin door in just a few seconds and it can get thick on ya.

In the process of refinishing my coin door as well. I got some of the Rustoleum black hammered. Stripped my door and painted it last night. Love the texture, but not the finish. Seemed to be to glossy for me. Was much shinnier than the original from my cab. I had purchased some satin black for a the marquee holder and glass holders which I also painted. I went over the hammered with the satin very lightly. Covered the shine, but kept the texture. Looks very good and much closer to the original.
Just my 2 cents.
RayB:
It's amazing what a coat of fresh paint does, so just sand down so there's good adhesion of the new paint, no rust, then tape up parts you don't want painted, and then finally many many light coats of Tremclad Semi-Gloss rust paint (or Rustoleum). Bake in the sun, or in the oven as last step.
Organic Jerk:
I hate to jump into an old thread... but bake? What does the baking do that letting it sit out in room temp will not do?
Do you literally mean to cook the painted coin door into the same oven I cook my food in? Seems dangerous.
SirPeale:
You don't want to do it at high temperatures, about 150 degrees. It helps to speed curing and drying of the paint.
And no...you don't want to do it in an oven you're going to prepare food in - though I do anyway.
