Aha! the Linda Newman article on this topic is in the WAML IB 30 (2 &3)
March/July 1999, pp. 85-92: The electronic Painting Project of the Mary
Ansari Map Library.
Verrrry useful!

Dear Mapsters,
NYPL Map Div. is about to undergo renovation. [yes, your prayers for our
recovery are welcome!]
One aspect of the work we are considering is to spray paint the map
cases,
rather than purchase new [inferior] cases or flat files.
We are concerned about processes; protection of the collections;
off-gassing; costs, etc.
We have some 300,000 maps in 3-5 drawer units here in the rooms to be
renovated. Another 100,000+ are in storage,and probably will not be
painted.
Just wonder what others have experienced with spray painting; and long
term
effects...chipping? vapors?
Any input from the map library community is most welcome as we approach
Armageddon [and I do not mean Osama, I mean Renovation!]
