[sdiy] Aluminum front panels question

[Terry Shultz]

Hi Paula,

On the metal work question, Any thoughts about silkscreen vs. engraved/Machines and backfilled with paint?

I assume the obvious is more expensive but do the looks improve with engraves/Machined artwork in your opinion?


regards,

Terry
