[R-390] How to finish a front panel (more)

[Scott, Barry (Clyde B)]

Lots of guys seem to like Rustoleum, but I'm not that fond of it.  I have used some spray cans and got some very good results.  I had Rustoleum yield some bad orangepeeling that I haven't gotten in other brands.  The black worked okay on the knobs for my first R390A, but the gray didn't fare as well.  Could be something I was doing wrong.

I think I'm going for a powder-coated front panel this time (if I can afford it!).
