The laser wouldn't engrave the finish, just the graphics. You would anodize the panel black first, then burn away the black to expose the silver aluminum underneath for the legends. Black anodizing would not match the motm polane spatter finish paint exactly. From a few feet away

FWIW, from my standpoint there aren't many MOTM purists, in the sense that they only want modules produced by SynthTech. After all, the slow trickle of new SynthTech modules was what fueled demand for stooge panels in the first place. If MOTM had sprung full blown into the world

The thought is to use a laser engraver. You anodize (or paint, I suppose) the panel, then the laser burns the graphics. It will engrave wherever there is color, but once it gets down to the reflective metal it stops working. At least that's how it was explained to me. I think tha
