[R-390] Anyone getting a front panel silkscreened?

This weekend, I began the rather sad task of filling in the engravings in an
R390A a front panel and will have it powder-coated and then will need it
silk-screened. The engraving was too badly damaged to try to restore and
the chemical stripping they used to remove the first couple of attempts at
powder-coating left some rather bad pitting in the panel. I had to coat the
entire front side with JB Weld and sand back down to the metal (kind of like
a grain-filling operation for wood). It should turn out nicely but will
need silk-screening.
I'm wondering if there is any kind of price break if more than one panel is
done at a time? Is the screen a "use-once and throw-it-away" kind of thing?
If so, then there's no need in trying, but if it can be used for more than
one panel if done together, then perhaps there might be some cost saving?
Anyone?
