[Johnson] Johnson Colors (David C. Hallam)

Paul,

Thanks for the report.  The consensuses seems to be that the PS was the 
same slightly wrinkled gray as the RF deck.  I am taking my case to a 
powder coater to have it painted in a wrinkled gray finish and will take 
the PS cover too.  I have a total of 4 Invaders to be painted.  Two 
200's and two 2000's.  I am keeping one 2000 and will be selling the 
rest after finishing the painting and electrical modifications.
