Thick8 Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 I'm about to paint my panel edges but wanted to know if I should paint the inside of the switch holes too. Or should I leave them glow. I'm just lasering a set of cheap thin top plates to just screw on but need to know if I should leave or delete the switch holes.

metalnwood Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 I painted mine so I am not sure how much light would be shown from the white side of the panel but I don't remember ever seeing backlit panels with the inside cuts showing up so for that reason I would paint them.
Thick8 Posted May 20, 2014 Author Posted May 20, 2014 Thanks. that will actually make it easier. I just cut a set without the raster pass. I'm going to sandwich a layer of cellophane wrap between the top and middle plates before painting to keep from getting any paint on the bottom layer as I'm just using LED strips to backlight the whole console. It's starting to come together...
