Title: Removing Woodgrain Contact material on coin door ???? Post by: Rebel on August 15, 2013, 09:26:40 am Have two questions. One is,,what is the best way to remove the woodgrain contact material on outside of coin door and also the outside vinyl brand labels on each side of outside machine on Vendo 63 ?
Thanks for any information. Ran a cooling test last night and got er down to 29*. Very happy about that. Title: Re: Removing Woodgrain Contact material on coin door ????

You can use a gasket scraper or similar tool to get under it in tough spots. After it's all off, I use Goo Gone to remove the rest of the glue residue.
Title: Re: Removing Woodgrain Contact material on coin door ???? Post by: Rebel on August 15, 2013, 11:21:50 am thank you for the information. Am old street rod builder and these things have always been an issue. Want to try and not destroy paint underneath contact paper so we'll give it a go. If worse comes to worse,,may got with a paint stripper and start from scratch after removing everything. Thanks again for the info.

Not difficult to remove at all. Underneath was a smooth glossy aluminum contact paper which peeled off easily with razor scrapper. Done. Now,,,,paint it or apply woodgrain again.

Mine weren't. The metal underneath the wood grain looked like overspray from when the edges were painted. Title: Re: Removing Woodgrain Contact material on coin door ???? Post by: Pixel on September 20, 2013, 04:34:11 pm Thank you for telling me. I figured Cavalier didn't always just slap the woodgrain on a fully finished black door and call it a day, but I wasn't sure. I'm guessing they thought it didn't make economic sense to fully paint every single coin door that was destined for a woodgrain overlay.

Post by: tkaz on September 20, 2013, 10:45:31 pm I've had a couple different experiences under the woodgrain...a more white painted USS had a nice white paint under the woodgrain, I was able to pull it off and clean it up and it looked great. The others were just black primer or overspray, I was disappointed on those
