[Hallicrafters] Re: Powder Coating

  I powder coated the grill on my PM-23. It looks great and is as close to original as I 
imagine it. Also powder coated some parts on my sports car (Lotus Europa) and I'm 
real happy with it. It looks good and it's durable. I'm not sure you can get an original 
looking wrinkle finish with powder but then who can get an original wrinkle finish 
anyway? <g>
