Quoted from cosmokramer:

Should the coin door and visible carraige bolt heads be sprayed with the same black paint as the cab base paint or is it a different paint?
Also, I am planning on spraying cab semi gloss black, using krylon rattle cans for yellow and red, then shooting with 2 part automotive clear... any problem with that combination?

I use Krylon barbecue grill paint on coin doors and their hardware. It gives you a finish very similar to original. I also only clean/wash the original door, no sanding, and spray it and it comes out great. This keeps the texture of the original door. So if the original texture is compromised this may not be for you.

Otherwise it is a very easy quality result.

Quoted from cosmokramer:

Time spent epoxying plugs and quarter, filler and sand, spray primer with wet sand between coats, bbq black paint with wet sand between coats, spritz laquer : One hour
dollars spent $20.

It looks great and you should have adequate supplies to do at least one more, if not more, door.

Quoted from cosmokramer:

attached the legs with the heavy duty bolt plates by snugging up leg bolts, then pre drilling and installing 8 screws per plate,

Those flat slot screws you used on the leg plates are a PIA to work with. I stay away from them every chance I get unless that is what the factory used (which is the case on most of my Gottlieb EM games).

Go with phillips head screws every chance you get.

Nice work though.
