I'm drastically thinning the herd cuz my lady is moving in and we need the space. Got my dl on eBay (thanks to tremendous help from acejedi). I painted the coin door (which was all black with some cracking in some areas). Not sure of the original color or those cinematronic doors (?)BUT I got a crazy ALLCAPS email stating :"YOU PAINTED THE CENEMATRONICS COIN DOOR!?!?!?". It was the caps and !?!?!? That bothered me. I simply wrote "yes". With more thought I wish I wrote "well it was just cuz I didn't have time to 50 in 1 it". Tell me, was that stoops to paint an all black door with peeling paint?
 
Depends on the cab I think. Space Wars doesn't have the same coin door as Star Castle or Danger Zone.

Do you have this one?

The one on my Dragons' Lair looks like this.

One could blast and paint the door, you would just want to sand the paint off the logo again.
 
On that type, I would mask off the center rectangle with the logo, then paint the rest...

If this is it then I'm not surprised.:eek: http://s630.photobucket.com/albums/uu21/salearea11/LAIR/?action=view&current=lair014.jpg

I would have stripped it and made sure to mask the logo and hit it with more then just a couple coats of primer. It does look pretty ghetto but nothing that can't be fixed. I could see that it might make it harder to sell even though it's a pretty minor issue.
