How/where to fab metal control panels

Post by Gaz »

I really want to have some metal control panels made with white text on black. Really not too dissimilar from a Fender.

Does anyone know how these kind of panels are actually made? My presumption is that steel is die cut or water jet, then painted (or silkscreened?) black, then white text is silkscreened over that. Can this all be done at one place, or am going to have to it done at separate shops? Here's a few examples of what I'm thinking of:
