[Amps] Painting xfmrs

[Jeff Carter]

With one or two exceptions, the opinion of the list seems to be to
paint the transformer, with more than one person saying they regularly
do so, especially with transformers-in-a-can like the SB-220 HV
transformer.

This will be for show *and* for use.  It doesn't take a whole lot more
time to do things neatly and to use care than it does to just slap
everything together.  I have found when I take the time to do things
like this, I seem to get a better end result.

Thanks for all the replies!

it....and be done with it.
