---The Front Panel Express is probably the best bet for a few panels.
Not all commercial metal shops want to do instrument panels. Figure on 100
pcs minimum and $600 or more. Not all shops have access to good anodizing
and silkscreening and the careful handling that is necessary to produce
ding free aluminum panels. You have to ask shops if they have a lot of
experience doing this and if not, their recs---they are going to know.
