Bob,

I just got my heater control panel back and it looks
great. Well worth the nominal price for the nice job
you guys did with it.  Thanks!
For the listers -
To refinish the heater control panel mine was slightly
rusty so I sanded it clean, primed it with auto primer
in a spray can, top coated with spary can laquer (Bob
says enamel will lift when the silk screen is
applied)and proceeded with 600 grit sand and/or steel
wool to sand and repaint about 6 times until I was
happy with the black finish.
I mailed it off to Bob and for a song, he silk
screened the lettering on and it looks like he applied
a clear coat.
Now I have a really nice looking control panel to go
on my refinished dash.  Lettering looks OEM to me.
