TNX guys. My internet service crashed last Friday and was only restored this morning, so I'm a bit late catching up.
I've had a number of folks ask about the process involved, so when I get a spare minute or three, I'll jot down some notes and add it to the Restoration forum. Though each item will differ as far as size, paint depth, etc, the overall process is pretty much the same. Repainted the skirt for a Super Pro band knob the same way. It's probably more an issue of the applied technique which is bound to vary by the individual. If you don't use it regularly, you end up relearning almost as much as you learn new.
I will say that trying to do too much at once is a sure-fire way to end up stripping and starting over.
The transmitter is coming along nicely over the last week. Will post some shots and info on that too, when time permits. W3JN really saved my bacon and got the rig making substantial RF through the aerial. I can say that a 4-125 is capable of making enough light to read by while warming things within a 2-3 ft radius when not tuned properly. When it's tuned correctly, 250 watts output is the better alternative.
Now shoot it with a few coats of clear coat.
That's a great idea, Buddly. I'd though of this before but decided against it since it could lock in discoloration or other problems with the chrome areas. But it would make sense to use the same process and simply remove the clear coat from the chrome if that's an issue. Hmmmm......
