"Almond" as applied to 90% of the refrigerators in the US is close enough
to 'limestone' for government purposes. The paint place shouldn't have any
problems. Powder coat is kinda brittle, tho'...I would think it would chip
too easily, especially around the rims where the tire machine runs the bead
seating/breaking arm thingy. I think powder coat is better suited to
places that don't get such regular impacts, like bumpers and such. There
was a place near me that did hot rod conversions and whatnot and had ovens
big enough to bake entire frames. A powder coated frame sure looked great,
though.
