Coin door decals when transferred from the original coin door to the new one is simply a peel off and restick. I have done that for all my 'blinged' pins.

Joey @ Pinball decals is the only source directly, but z-plating does sell occasionally, and will plate your parts as well as Mike Chestnut, whom you can email directly.

Mike will plate your door for about $270 including disassembly and reassembly. If you take it apart entirely then reassemble it yourself you can save $50. He can only do doors that are 100 % metal. That eliminates the older style coin doors.

You may be pretty happy painting the coin door yourself with the gold metallic rustoleum paint. The stuff is really nice and shiny. Try it and see. If you don't like it you can still send it off for plating. The paint dries to the touch in less than 5 minutes. Painting the door is about a 15 minute total job:

1) remove it
2) tape the inserts in
3) clean it with alcohol or laquer thinner
4) spray it. Spray the 4 bolts
5) it's almost dry with in the first minute if you use the paint I listed
6) remount it. It can finish drying when it's mounted while you're playing the pin.

Damn, that's a nice apron!!!

TOM would also be a great pin to use a brass coin door.

Skip the gold buttons, the plating wears off rather quickly and they look like crap when the yellow shows through.
The gold flippers hold up well though.

I would have the door powdercoated to match the trim.

You know what you have a point, if I dont like it I can just send it off. In all honesty since my cabinet hardware isnt a high polish brass this may be a damn acceptable alternative. Thanks dude.
This is for my LOTR...
The legs, hinge, rails & shooter housing were powdercoated a brown/rust color & have gold writing on the side (by Back Alley). I want to add brass bolts/screws, gold buttons, gold speaker grills & a gold coin door.
The coin door doesnt have to be a reflective $400 component, I just need some contrast to the brown & continuity to the bolts, writing & buttons. The coin door is never used nor do my hands really come in contact with it so wear should be minimal. I spent the cheese on powdercoating the meat & potatoes that come in contact with the player so perhaps a spray painted door is just right.
If this paint is good enough for you & treasure cove then I will give it a shot

Again, thanks.

After looking at your pictures, I'd get a spray paint to match. Or to match as closely as possible. I powder coated my lotr all gold and painted the coindoor and legs. Here is a picture of how that coin door looks in the paint I recommended.

Good choice on the brown powdercoating.....I likey.

200. And I pc clear it when it's done. Brass isn't as rugged as chrome. Just send it to me disassembled.

Just clean and paint. If you use the paint I suggested exactly no need to prime.

You'll have to paint a stern door rather than powder it due to all the plastic parts.
