Very nice mate, what do you use to get the spatter finish right on the coin door?

Very nice mate, what do you use to get the spatter finish right on the coin door?

Paint the door using the factory "flat black". Then use a gloss paint either from a can or gun. When using a can, use only a little pressure on the button so it "spits out" the gloss. Practice makes perfect - it is really easy once you get the hang of it. With a compressor, don't thin the paint too much and lower the pressure at the gun until it "spits". Then just hold the gun / can at an angle and spray on the door, fittings and the frame.
