[Elecraft] Paddle sets and such (slightly OT)

[Don Wilhelm]

  Rich,

You are looking for an Industrial Paint shop.  Google and call around 
your area.  Many have minimum charges to cover their setup for powder 
coatings - at least the ones I used to use had minimums.

There are several very durable automotive finishes available that may 
serve as a good substitute.

That brings me to the point of this posting: I have been using an old, beat-up Vibroplex single lever paddle set for the last 20 years. It needs some TLC. I would like to bead-blast the base and have it powder coated in black. Does anyone know where one finds a place that does powder coating?? As for the chrome upper parts, I plan on visiting my local Harley scooter store (got to get a couple of tats first!) and have them re-plate the upper parts for me. OBTW: Harley bike shops are an excellent source for crinkle paint for boatanchor restorations, in the event you need to restore a boatanchor.
