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. :-)
