I can't speak to the mechs, but I just got done fixing up mine. I sanded it down using plain old coarse grain steel wool. Of course take it completely apart first so you just have a big hunk of steel and no electronics hanging off. Then I hit it with a handful of coats of regular black gloss spray paint. I figure it won't get enough wear to worry about the paint rubbing off so I guessed that spray paint is as good as anything.

: Picked up a coinco coin door on ebay for cheap, but it needs some work. First, it was *very* badly painted; I need to know the best way to remove all of the old paint so I can re-finish it properly. Second, what is the best paint to use for this thing?

: Internally, the door is pretty sound - one of the mechs is in great shape, the other is pretty much thrashed. Was thinking of replacing it with an Imonex mech from Happ; are these mechs pretty much universal?

: Thanks!
