I use powdercoating on every part I can (even down to the carriage bolts) as I really like the results. Very durable and when you do all your parts at once it can be very inexpensive. I simply take it to an automotive sandblasting/powder coating place and they take the old rusty parts, as-is (albit with any dents pounded out), and I get a seemingly brand new part back. Just take the time to look at all the finish options for the best possible match to the original texture.

What did you use to re-attach the plate on the front of the coin door? I found something locally that is kind of like a Rivet, but I haven't had a chance to try it yet.
I tried to find a rivet solution myself but I couldn't find a practical option for that. What I settled on was 2-56 x 1/4 machine screws and hex nuts that I found at Radio Shack. The only small difference is that they are slotted. You can see in the picture that I just turned all the slots the same way and between that and being so small the slots all but disappear. Best part is you don't even have to use adheisive on the plate so if it gets scratched it's an easy replace.
Yeah, take the door out of the frame/hinges so that all sides get coated.Did you have to take apart your coin door off the hinges when you got it powder coated?

If you can, definately get metal parts powdercoated.
My cabs C/P was SO badly rusted & pitted that even after the Powdercoaters did their best, it was still pitted. I then had to use automotive filler and complete the job by hand. I eventually had to finish the coindoor & frame etc as the C/P was so smooth .....
