Cash box door & frame paint finish

[bele2009]

I am in the process of repainting the metal frame and cash box door on my Rock-ola 474 that was repainted in the past with a pretty bad coating of black paint. I stripped and clean everything to bare metal.

Did Rock-ola Originally used only flat black, gloss black or a combination of both (speckle finish like I saw on some pinball & gaming coin doors) ? I will soon do a Rock-ola 468 which is not in too bad shape and original, it’s cash box door and frame look like semi gloss (maybe dirty?) brown paint.

I intend to redo the coin return cup flap as well, that one has some kind of hammertone dark grey/black, so I may practice the speckle finishing technique on that one first 😉.

Your advise please.

Thanks

Hi Bele,
If my great, but not too long memory is correct-- that seemed to vary with each model--- I know it did on Seeburgs-- Ron Rich

Thanks,

I stripped the frame and that one was re-coated as well and will repaint at once. Looking at the other black metal trims on this box, they are all gloss black so that is what I will use. I will repaint tomorrow weather permit.
