Quoted from Robertstone0407:What makes a coin door look good. Although you will never see it, to have a great looking coin doot each piece must be shot and look as good as possible. Each piece must be of the best finish for a perfect assembly
Problem is after a coin door is powder coated, assembly is a total pain in the ass. Speaking from experience here - looks great once it is back together, but I don't like doing it.
Quoted from Rdoyle1978:is this because the pieces don't fit together as well due to the extra thickness of the powder coat?
Yes - I had to break out the files and sandpaper - took quite a bit of work. Note: I haven't done business with the OP, so this is not a bash on his work....
Quoted from woody76:I would imagine the only time you have issues with powder coated parts going back together are for 2 stage powders? I have never had problems with powder but chrome is complete pain.
Just from experience, If you do a little bit of prep work. Use a dremel on Bezel door entries and the flaps before the powder/plating is applied it goes right back together no problem. cover threads and plug screw holes and your all good.
Most of the stuff I get done is 2 or more stage.
Quoted from Robertstone0407:Invest in high temp tape. You can leave it on for the whole process. Bothstages. 5 minutes of tape saves you hour of hand work
I'm not the one shooting the powder - just dropping it off and picking it up 
Quoted from mollyspub:Hope to see this on the actual game
I think that may be coming here - yes I'll post a pic...
Quoted from mollyspub:That blue looks like a perfect match! Did the buyer request to have the blue instead of red?
Sure did - put the red on my Getaway
Sorry - maybe I should start a custom shop for riveting, ground braid restoration and other services?
