Fisher KX 200 Faceplate

[Duke58]

Here's my CNC machined faceplate. I learned that the original faceplate is made of anodized aluminum. All these years, I thought it was made of brass. The Fisher letters are larger because I couldn't create the toolpath in MasterCAM with a smaller tool, so I used a carbide tool normally used for cutting PCBs. I used Lacquer Stik Fill-In Paint for the engraved lettering. I'll hit it with some clear lacquer and am not going to plate it with gold anodizing. First silver colored KX-200 faceplate?

That is super cool. You could try alodine for the gold finish not sure how close it would end up to fisher gold but you can do it at home

Thanks! I was thinking about buying one of those kits to coat it, but I do like the silver finish as well.
