Modular Synth Panels

Mine are punched aluminum, .125" thick. Paint is textured black.
(First run 1U modules were .09" thick; this has been remedied.)
FPE paint is horrible, and way too expensive for the quality, 
especially when they charge per tick mark. If Doug can figure a way to 
do custom panels for people, with Stooge quality... that would be 
superb.
Stooges looked exactly like MOTM to me. Mine are a little different. 
The textured paint is subtly different, the paint is whiter, and I'm 
still debating whether to match the graphics exactly.

Cheers,
