shogun

I have to agree with Artesia. I m doing panels this way using Xara for many years. (Xara 1, later Xara 2 now Xara X). I m using described technology to finish panel too instead painting them. When I finish all metalwork and panel need to be labeled I print final panel layout to transparent foil by laser printer (I mean foil usually used for presentations by overhead projetors). Print panel mirrored, then paint foil by desired color by airbrush. Then you can fix foil to metal or plastic panel by doublesided stick tape. I m using Xara for example when I need print and make 6 pcb board at once by photoprocess, exporting data from eagle to xara etc. Xara is simple. stable and easy to use to me (compared f.o. Corel draw 9). Xara is vector based software working different manner from bitmap based Photoshop so I cant recommend to do fine job by any bitmap editor.
