[R-390] Front panel paint removal

[Jerry K]

Powder coating, IMO, is a bad idea for pressed-in or engraved panels. 
Coating is waaay too thick, will fill in and obliterate the engraving. 
For the most scratch-resistant coating possible, I'd recommend a 
Duracoat kit instead. I apply it with an airbrush, but I see they now 
have it in spray can kits. See www.lauerweaponry.com.
