    Did you send them your panel? I hate painting. Wondering about powered coating the panel and then sending it to them?

    I painted my panel with Rustoleum! I had placards made. They come with double sided tape and stick on.

    Thanks for the link Jeff. I'm going to look into this.

    These guys do a lovely job:

    https://www.fly-visuals.co.uk

    Yes, they're based in the UK but their turnaround is very quick and we had the labels back in Oz in no time at all. They look great in the RV8

    They are very thin, so they don't stick out from the panel or show white behind the sticker. That is something that would annoy me no end and I am pleased to report no aggravation of my anal retentivity

    Anyone have experience with a company engraving after powder coating? I want to build my panel then have it powered coated and then engraved?
