Subject: Re: [ModularSynthPanels] Fill-In Necessary?

Chris,
Yes, it will reveal the "raw", silvery aluminum. I
have just received a bunch of black-anodized
frontpanels (Oakley), where I have omitted the fill-in
paint, in order to save costs. And I must say it looks
excellent. From about one meter distance, I'm unable
to tell the difference between white-infilled and
non-filled engravings. And in a close-up look I think
it looks very good. Also tried it on a red-anodized
panel and it looks great there too.

Hope this helps,
Best,
Dino
