[simpits-tech] panel material

[Shira, Craig]

Hermes already makes a 2 colored plastic, white on the
inside, black on the outside. You then engrave only the
black, leaving the white.

If you are talking about the light plates for the instrumentation that has
the switches and knobs, it is 1/4" clear acrylic cast panels.

You can use cast sheets and cut to size.  Use water as a coolant to cut and
drill.  Paint white, then black and engrave.
