Looks great! Not surprised though, all your projects are impressive.
This would also enable a plain aluminum panel to have black graphics (or other dark color) assuming they have black, etc crayons available.
As always, thanks for sharing.
cheers

i should add that it realy has a great look and feel. the engraving is filled with the color (instead of smud and crud) so you get a plane surface. _________________

Stupid question. What do you use to clean the excess off with? _________________ Garret: It's so retro.

Is that orange fluorescent?
I'm thinking it would look extra nice illuminated with some UV LED lights on little goosenecks if it was. |

no, not necessary. the fill in paint will dry and then be very resistant. _________________

Thanks for the state side site. seems reasonably priced.
Fonik, what kind of coverage can you get with a single stick? This would be good knowledge for planning a quantity I would need for a given panel size.
Thanks again !

OK, thanks. It really goes a long way then. I have some VCF panels I will be getting done so I will get the panels engraved only instead of getting the colors filled in by Scheaffer to save some cash. I will get some of these sticks and give it a whirl.
Thanks ...

How do you think this would fare on a synthesizers.com blank that already has flat black paint on it? |

I'm about ordering some Schaeffer-frontpanels for my FracRak. The panels will be black but I can't decide upon the lettering: White or silver?
While silver might sounds strange it'll probably blend nicely with Wiard/MOTM-style knobs and the jacks. What do yo think? |

you might want to take a look at my black modules or the waterproof soundlab. these frontpanels are black anodized with no color fill - silver, so to say. i like it... _________________

Thanks Fonik, yes, that looks fine. One of my panels is without any paint which I think a bit dull, however, I might have chosen a too narrow graver (0,2mm) and too small letters (0,2mm).
This time I'll go for DIN1451 and a 0,4mm or a 0,6mm graver and 2,5mm letters.
Which width had the graver used for your panel? |

0.2mm, even for the new panels with black fill-in color, which i fill with the color mentioned in this thread. _________________

2mm!
@Fonik, I'll give it another try without paint since I can add the Lacquer Stik paint later. Thanks. |
