Re: frontpanels

2005-04-12 by Kris Bishop

I'm running out of time and money so I am using high quality prints 
of the original panels (touched up in paint I might add) then 
sticking them on to plastic templates. Tacky I know but at least I 
can change colours etc before I have to decide.

by the way the best combination for a blue face panel has to be 
Yellow writing on blue blackground. Give it a try.

too heavy on the spray, or it will mess up the acrylic adhesive.
