[sdiy] Front Panels for DIY

[rob at emulatorarchive.com]

  Hi list,
Does anyone have experience of aluminium front panels manufactured by 
PANEL POOL?
I have had a few made and they are fine except the printed lettering can 
be scratched off in some areas.
Should I be spraying a clear protective finish onto them, in which case 
what should I use?

Any other ideas (other than Schaeffer) on panel manufacturers in UK/Europe?

regards
Rob
