No way man, he would've had to take the panel off. Powder coating involves throwing that shit in an oven at a ridiculous temperature... the internal components would've fried.

Well I meant after removing the chassis from the headshell Ermz 
Still, I doubt the wood/tolex would be too happy at those temperatures either!

Yeah, no way, the two would fuse together then melt. If you read his post he talks about putting 'it back on', so I imagine he only did the treadplate.

Damn nice blackplate! Wish I could take mine to somebody round here to do it
You can send it to someone to get it done or simply order the plate from Mesa. My Dual Rec/Rack didn't come with a faceplate so I have a company making me one in glossy black <3
The hard part is getting the old one off, though! I had to rip mine off with great effort, and was only able to since it's from like '96!

Yeah I took the thing off!
Mine is from '96 too. That double sided tape. My gawd what an absolute bitch.
I took it to a place locally called "Mr Powder Coater". It was $30AUD (minimum charge). Was told 'it'll be ready in a couple of days'.
30 minutes later I get a call it's done.

That's what I did. Just bought some new tape and stuck it on. Although annoying. It wont be as annoying as superglue or any really strong glue.
I don't ever forsee taking it off again.

Have any clips of your Recto yet? I freaking love mine to death. I never thought I'd own one, but I traded my Parker Fly for one and I'm NEVER LOOKING BACK

do a search and filter it for me as the author in the 'rate my mix' sub forum.

Just installed my kinky leopard strap into the BTB555 yesterday. I really like it so far. I polished the frets and oiled the fretboard, still need to change the strings, they seem pretty old. It's got quite a few dings but whatever, I only paid €290 for it anyway I got a lot more when I sold the older (and worse) BTB406. Since when have 5-string basses had two truss rods BTW? I was pretty surprised when I opened the truss rod cover to do some adjustments. Pretty cool IMO, I needed a little bit of relief for the B and E strings, but the D and G strings were fine as they were, so I just loosened the other truss rod a little and it was done. I've never had an instrument with two truss rods before.

Just bought a pair of Genelec 8040's, or well, I paid for them at least, hehe. They'll arrive in some days!
BTW, does anyone have any experience with the Diezel VH4? I was in the store today checking what deal I could get on a Dual Recto to complete our arsenal which mainly consists of a 5150, Engl Fireball and a JCM8000, and the sales guy (an old friend, but well, still a sales guy) started talking about the VH4, which he apparently has himself as well. We hooked it up and it sounded pretty nice, but I felt it was a bit ear-piercing. Can feel the same tendency with the 5150 sometimes. But I'd be interested to know if anyone knows how it records! He could give me a really good deal on it, so I'm thinking if I should wait a bit with the Recto, since it's not very hard to find anyway.

I LOVE the VH4, and Diezels in general are my favourite hi-gain amps. Some say that they have a weird feel though (when playing through them), I'm not sure what that means as I haven't tried one myself yet. Anyway, I've really liked all the clips of the VH4 I've heard, and whenever I can finally afford a new hi-gain head, I'm pretty certain it'll either be the Einstein or a used VH4.

Oh, I almost forgot! My workday was almost over when I saw a Line 6 DL4 pop up in the for sale -section of a Finnish musicians' forum. A couple pm's were sent and I ended up picking it up straight from work, only about 30 minutes after it'd been put for sale I was originally thinking about buying the TC Nova Delay, but I just... did it? I dunno anyway, I'm sort of having a project of putting together a pedalboard right now, and this is the beginning of it.

But I can think of quite a few recorded with a Dual Rectifier
