Chris,
I don't know specifically about the IBM PC, but I think what you're
describing is powder coating.

I must have asked numerous times on numerous forums
how this is done. Did
you ever take a close look at the paint on a 5150 or 5170 (or hell even any
IBM monitors that are age appropriate, but those aren't metal). Did you
notive the wormy, orange pealy finish. I don't think anyone has seriously
attempted to explain how to accomplish that. It's not simply a sligjtly
gritty texture as in the case of modern atx cases, that can be done with a
spray can, sort of.
Do they simply cause the spray gun to spit on the final coat, perhaps
while the previous coat is still tacky?
