[K3] K3 Plating [was: !]

[Don Putnick-2]

Wayne,
 
I really want to make my K3-line a show piece, but this black really doesn't do it for me.
How much would it cost to plate it in rhodium?

K3, KPA500, and KAT500 on order
 
"Alternative: With the KX3 up on its tilt stand there's enough 
clearance to a chunk of metal to the back, say 6 x 2 x 0.5 inches. You 
could use steel or lead (boring!), or make your KX3 truly unique by 
using osmium, tungsten, indium, etc.

The original Elecraft Grey (US: Gray) that was used for the K1 and K2 really
made Elecraft stand out from the rest. I was very sorry to see the colour
(US: color) degenerate to black, the same as used by the competitors. I
guess it's too late to change back now.  However, as the original paint is
still available, perhaps Elecraft would be prepared to make a special one,
at an appropriate cost of course.
