  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>
