Laser would be good Sam, ideally  making a panel up, getting it anodised so that the edges were coloured then engraving, either laser or even milling like I did. The place I used for the anodising do mainly plating which I think they are a bit better at, although I have heard some bad stories about that  as well. I have heard of another place fairly local that does anodising so I may try them out the next time.

Looks great Hood, nicely done, sir-

Dave

Thanks Dave.
Hood

Eyecandy!

Brett

Sadly for you I have not inserted any silicone implants on the panel
Hood

That might actually inspire Brett to get some work done 

Dave

Probably the opposite, he will have a vacant look on his face whilst he dreams of the silicone :-D

Hood

Yeah, but at least it'll get him into the shop and looking at the controls 

Dave

Hood, Dave may be right.  Could you send me an example for inspection?
