[Milsurplus] MS Connector Shell color

[rertman at ix.netcom.com]

The modern OD finish is a conductive coating that makes electrical continuity with
EMI backshells.  It's not just paint.  It's sort of a specialized stuff a bit like
anodize and won't come off easily, if at all without ruining the connector.
