David,

  I've never seen this done but it might look nice but not original (not that there's 
anything wrong with that<g>). I guess it kind of depends on what receiver you match 
it up with. I have mine with my SX-28A so I think the bright chrome would clash with 
the receiver cabinet molding. My PM-23 grill needed help so I took it to a shop that 
does powder coating. They bead blasted it and gave it a gray color coating as close 
to original as possible. It looks great and it only cost me $10. I bet chrome is more. If 
you do it in chrome, please post a picture somewhere. Hmm, I seem to recall a post 
or two about chrome panels on SX-28's...
