Default Re: Radford amplifier chassis refinishing?

It's hard to tell from the pictures just what the original finish was and, as Wrangler says, it may well be some obsolete process. Powder coating involves firing tiny plastic particles from a gun on the surface and then cooking at ~200'C. Tends to produce a layer thay could be mistaken for thick paint. OK for garden machinery, perhaps even modern radio equipment, but suspect it will not look right on vintage equipment.

Maybe the way to go would be a zinc plater who can tint his plate.
