Needing some powder coating work done on a few phones, I met with John of Team Powder Coating. He graciously spent time with me explaining the process and his experience while showing me his shop. Consequently, I gave him a few Western Electric parts and waited. The results were fabulous...even considering I am a hard to please "purest" type collector with refinishing or re-plating almost dirty words. But when necessary, John is the man. Each time thereafter, I have had the same experience. Consistent color, matching closely to WE paint, excellent work and wonderful end product.
