Quoted from NicoVolta:Thanks man! $12 for shipping... ouch... but when in a hurry we do what we must.
I wish these were just $12 for shipping. Just ordered and shipping was $21 It’s the only place I could find those Williams stickers so I kinda had to pony up for my coin door resto
Does anyone ever use the black hammered finish rustoleum? I have used the silver to great effect on my old stern coin doors. I have a Gottlieb System 80 that needs some work, and I'm wondering if that will do the trick. I'm up for any suggestions.

Quoted from BrotherSir:As far as I can tell, everyone goes with paint instead of polished metal on classic Stern doors. Is this just for the original look, or the is there an obvious reason you wouldn't do that on those doors?
I'm also in need of two coin reject trays (the part that looks like a funnel) for classic sterns. Does anyone know where the heck I can get them?
50% because that was how it was originally
50% because the hammered paint covers minor imperfections very well
Only the coin slot bezel is plated from the factory and gets shined up.
You could send out a Stern coin door to strip it down, blast it, and get it plated, but it's going to need a lot of work to get out all the dents and creases and such so that when it is plated it doesn't look like garbage.
I think the shiny look is more of a Bally thing. You can buy brand new door skins for Bally's of the same era that are perfect and shiny.
Quoted from dudah:From my Midway White Lightning. I found the unobtanium sticker inside and it cleaned up pretty nice!
