Well, metal is "grunt" work I am happy to do so Paul can concentrate on
synth stuff. And, the person who really started this all (Stooge
Industries), the man behind the scenes on ALL of the screening is Dave
Bradley. Dave does all the artwork and coordinates the screening for the
Stooge panels. I am the "metal and paint" guy it seems. Thanks to Paul for
license to make product to carry the MOTM brand (flat rails).

My guess is that is what people will want -- just plain black
to match the modules. However, it would be possible to
make most of them plain and then lean on the services of Dave
Bradley to screen some if there was a serious interest in having
some of them screened. It takes quite a few to make the
price reasonable.

Well, I don't think there is a standard that governs how wide the
space has to be "outside" the hole spacing. I think 3/4" is the
probably the right answer.
