Tron Restoration – Coin Door Repainted

Decided that I didn’t like the look of the coin door. It was hacked up a bit for a credit switch, and it was scratched up.

I then took the parts into work and media blasted them while on my lunch break.  Turned out really good!

I then tried to paint the coin door with some Rustoleum Hammered texture paint.  It looks good if done right, but I screwed up the first try by not holding the can the same distance from the panel each pass.  This caused it to be applied thicker in certain areas.  You can sorta make it out in this picture:

I then had to reblast the parts.  This ended up being VERY hard to remove.  After I cleaned them all up again, I repainted and it turned out great.  Ended up putting about three coats on, with a coat of regular black in the middle to get it to come out darker.  It still is a bit light for “black” paint but I think it looks cool.
