[Boatanchors] Lettering over Black Wrinkle

[Lee Craner]

 Keith,

If the panel is aluminum, you can take it to an engraver and have him engrave the lettering through the black paint and into the aluminum panel.  Here's a link to a a transmitter I homebrewed some time ago using this technique.  It really isn't that expensive and gives the project that old school professional look.

Plastic plaques lettered by a sign shop or a trophy shop.
