[BC] mic refinishing

[Robert Reymont]

We used to take them to Maaco to have them 
professionally sprayed.  We would make 
arrangements to have them done when they were 
painting a car of the same color.  It cost $50 
for as many mics we needed to paint.  Also used 
to paint other things the same way too - like 
consoles.  We took them apart and provided them 
only the parts needing painting.
