[R-390] Panel refurbishment...

[Pete Williams]

​ Some years back I had couple of silkscreened panels needing attention
and made a visit to our local trophy engraver for  suggestions....he uses
laser  engraving for  some of his work doing panels for industrial use
and  said  why not have me do a computer program after copying the  sample
and I'll  laser engrave the lettering after  you paint the  surface.
The upshot  was he did this. copied the layout, the   font, I cleaned the
panel down, painted the  appropriate grey  and he  then ran the  computer
controlled laser over the   job.... Result perfect as the laser took the
lettering down to the  metal surface .
He still has the program as I have a panel here needing   treatment .
I'm sure you guys would have even better facilities than I have access to
in  rural VK3 but the principle  remains valid.... ...Cost not a deterrent
if a  few need the  job done .
Cheers
