[TR] Fw: TR3 Heater coil

[David Templeton]

Carl,

My heater was done in crinkle with the core being left natural, the rest
was bead blasted and painted gloss rust black ( 2 coats ) and a coat
rust clear.  All came out really nice.

I won some gift certificates for powder coating at the All British Show
here in Safety Harbor this past weekend.

I decided to take my heater unit (dismantled) to be done.
Bottom cover/doors in wrinkle finish everything else except the
silverish piece in semi-gloss black.

The question is whether the coil itself should be powder coated or
remain 'au natural'?  He can do the top and bottom plate and mask off
the coil (inside & out).  However, the guy at the shop said there
shouldn't be any problem  with PC'g it and it would in fact increase the
'insulation' factor.
I couldn't decide if that is good or bad.

Advice?

Thanks
Carl
