For what it's worth, it's easy to add some texture to a smooth panel.
I recently got a panel (made by Suit & Tie Guy) that is made just
like the old Moog modular panels: black anodized aluminum with bare
aluminum graphics. It looked nice but I wanted a better match to my
dotcom modules, since I don't have any Moog modules. So, I dusted it
with a few light coats of clear spray paint (I used Rust-oleum but I
hear that Krylon is good, among others). I purposely sprayed very
lightly so as ∗not∗ to make smooth coats. Plus, it dries really
quickly. It's not ∗as∗ textured as MOTM and dotcom panels, but it
blends right in with them. Color me happy. :-)
