Re: Where to get platinum paint?

["Jason Whorton" <jason at microxl.com>]

Hi.  I used to powder coat metal parts and they went into an oven at about
375 - 400 degrees for almost twenty minutes.  I don't think a case would
survive that.  Besides, I don't think one could easily place a static charge
on plastic for proper coverage.

Thanks,
