    I have a coin door that's been covered with some plastic-looking material. lt looks kind of like plasti-dip, but has a specific texture. Anyone know what this is? Or tips on how to remove it?

    i'd like to see if I can restore the door underneath. Maybe it was just super rusty? Anyway, it can't be much worse than it is now.

    That looks like wrinkle finish paint to me. You can probably strip it with regular paint stripper or media blast it off.

    Yeh, that looks like somebody sprayed that door with black wrinkle paint. Probably because it was rusty and they wanted something to cover it up.

    It can be removed with common paint remover/stripper or a bead blaster.

    Cool. Thanks.

    Never heard of wrinkle paint before, but that is what this must be.
    I kinda-wanna wrinkle paint something now.

    How about a coin door?

    Wrinkle paint used to be available in several colors including brown, red, gray, and black. All I've been able to find now is black, red, and blue.

    There is a certain technique in applying the paint to get the proper wrinkle effect. I like to bake the painted metal objects in the oven at 150 degrees for 30 minutes then let the objects cool naturally to room temperature. You can watch the paint wrinkle right before your eyes.

    Wrinkle paint is tough, covers surface imperfections, does not need primer (generally), and withstands high heat.

    You have to lay it on thick and when the high amount of solvent evaporates it then wrinkles like Ken said. The thicker the coating the larger the wrinkles.
