Richie's is an anodised panel, supplied by Schaeffer Apparatebau.

My final decision on the finish will be made on a return visit to 
the factory I've arranged in the first week of January, after they 
return from their Christmas break.
The paint finish introduces some other possible problems in that 
holes for LEDs need to be increased in size to allow for the 
thickness of the paint coat, so maybe it will be anodised after all.
Either way, it's going to be a top quality product !
