Eric & Dave,

FWIW, this is a copy of an email response from Robin at MAM (3+ years ago)
regarding powder coating of the Rebel instrument panel.

Hi Roger,

There is no problem structurally with powder coating the instrument panel.

Cheers, Robin

Hi Robin,

I'm thinking about having my Rebel instrument panel powder coated, but
wanted to check with Murphy Aircraft for your approval/disapproval or other
thoughts on the matter.

I'm told that powder coating requires curing the coated parts in an oven at
approximately 400 deg farenheit for several hours. I was wondering if this
might have any kind of adverse affect on the structural integrity of the
panel, especially since it is said to be a structural part of the aircraft.

Appreciate any comments you might have.

Thank you,

Roger Hoffman #R687
