SF,

I went to a powder coater today (I think its great idea, by the way), he is confident he can blast the oxidation to bare metal and re powder it. He also said he could do the outside of the OTA at no extra charge and to current specs so that the attachment of rear and front cells should not be a problem. Only issue is that his mattest black, still has a slight satin look. Its a darker "proper black" colour rather than Celestron's lighter but matter black.

What are your thoughts on the finish and if I should get the outside done as well? He seems to think it will make the OTA more resistant to future oxidation.

Cheers

Hemi
