I'm on the verge of making several panels to catch up to the boards I have. Ideally, I'd like white aluminum, with print. But I'd also like the option of using dry erase markers to put in patch settings for times when my rig has to travel...gigs, practices, etc.

Does anyone have options, that allow for dry erase, but also for decent printing? (can clear coat be enough to use dry erase on?)

Or is there another option I should consider?

Just use Music from outer space's method for laminating panels & use white for the back ground..
Should work great..

I'm guessing with the right machine, I can also laminate the aluminum directly.

It's all simple enough to make some test runs.

Thanks!

To anyone else interested, I found this product:
https://www.remarkablecoating.com/works/

A clear-coat dry-erase paint. Paint it on anything to create a dry-erase surface!

This might be the perfect thing for aluminum printed/etched panels.
