I'm wondering about this too, Barry. I thought that the AR88 would have the same
finish as the AR88LF, which is a stamped panel with smooth, dull(not flat) black
paint. My R-320 has a wrinkle finish and is screened, but it's also a later
model along the lines of the CR-88 abd CR91A which are smooth, gray,
silkscreened panels.

Which dial guy? I've tried RockSea, they no longer make them and haven't for
some time apparently. I need one for my LF model.
