Good Morning All,

Well, I'm pleased to report that the keyer enclosure is back from the paint
shop here (it wasn't at all windy in the backyard yesterday, so the spraying
was a cinch!), and it all turned-out pretty good, too, I think...

The results may be seen at:

I first spray-primed the aluminum panels (after palm-sanding everything)
with a light coat of galvanized / zinc / aluminum metal prime from Home
Depot (the regular stuff will just peel off the aluminum in shards, in a
year, or two) --- I then sprayed them with enamel gray (for the end panels)
and gloss enamel black (for the top & bottom).

Soldering / hardware attachment commences this week...

Stay tuned!
