[R-390] Note on Krylon Appliance Paint

Some months ago, I reported on my experience with Krylon 'epoxy' appliance 
paint sprayed on my rebuilt meters, which indicated that it was not tough at 
all, and that wrapping them with soft paper and transporting them in a box had 
rubbed some spots to dullness. After that report, I put the meters on the 
shelf in defeat, promising myself that I'd get back to them toward the end of 
my (slow) restoration work.

This afternoon, then I look another look at the meters, I found something very 
interesting: The dulled spots had regained their shine, leaving only a slight 
roughness! Wow! Who would expect that - self healing paint. 

I'm not looking for an explanation, though one woulod be interesting. Just 
telling you what I've noticed.
