Krylon makes a spray-on black coating (aka spray paint). If done
carefully
it would look pretty good. Take the radios out first, which you are
allowed
to do if they are the tray type.

DME and transponders are excluded from that.

He can take out anything he wants. It's the puttin back in that the FAA has
rules about.

Who has the authority to re-install the ADF and Transponders once I have
them re-finished? Any A&P or does it need to be an avioniker?

"Refinish? What refinish? That's the way they were when I bought the plane."

Anyone has the authority to re-install them. An avionics tech must check to make
sure they are still accurate before you can use them again.

Great discoveries are not announced with "Eureka!". What's usually said is
"Hummmmm... That's interesting...."

Part 43 appendix A (c)(31) says:

Removing and replacing self-contained, front instrument panel-mounted
navigation and communication devices that employ tray-mounted connectors
that connect the unit when the unit is installed into the instrument
panel, (excluding automatic flight control systems, transponders, and
microwave frequency distance measuring equipment (DME)). The approved
unit must be designed to be readily and repeatedly removed and replaced,
and pertinent instructions must be provided. Prior to the unit's intended
use, and operational check must be performed in accordance with the
applicable sections of part 91 of this chapter.

How about people with snarky comments about how you can 'remove anything'
explain which authority that's under?

Read it again, Ben.

It says "removing AND replacing"... not "removing AND/OR replacing". Thus, it
prohibits the DUAL action of removing and replacing, not simple removing nor
simple replacing.

That ain't snarky, that's logic and construction.

You mean it *permits* removing AND replacing. It doesn't permit doing
anything else. Of course I don't have the special training A&Ps get in
creative interpretation of part 43...
