Fleetwin, You are in luck. I have actually done that exact thing you are talking about for my tri-hull Tom Boy boat panels. The only limiting factor is your own mine. Colors, textures, patterns, text, fonts are all easy to do. You can make a totally new panel with all those things etched in it, or merely have some labels made to stick on your existing panel. But once you see what is available, you will have tons more ideas for you needs I'm sure.
My wife use to run a Skills shop that made trophies and panels and you name it. She was in charge and ran the LASER section. And since she retired, we bought a large bed LASER system to make such panels.
NO, we don't make things for others....sorry! But I stated that to show you how it can be done and where to get it done locally at your community.
Here is my design for my Helm Switch Panel. This a computer rendered design to get the basic layout.
This is the cutout pattern for the LASER to use.
And this is the finished Helm Switch Panel.
I shown you this so you will think of the possibilities and see what can be done in your community. This is merely done using a LASER etching system that every trophy shop have. So make a simple design of what you want, take the design to the trophy shop and they can LASER it out on any color panel you like with any pattern, color, texture, font, lettering color, shape you can imagine.
Here is another one;
There is no limit to what you could do. And since the lettering is LASER engraved into the panel, it will never wipe off either. My panels were done on a brushed aluminum looking panel with black lettering and lines. JMHO!
