[R-390] Need EAC-sized nameplate, will trade?

[Curt Nixon]

Wow, Jerry:

That really does look spectacular.  I assume that was an engraved 
panel?  What is the panel finish?  Type of paint?  I use  a lot of 
automotive basecoat/ clearcoat and catalyzed urethanes here..  They are 
incredibly durable.  Catalyzed urethane on the knobs is especially good. 

Nice..
