Thanks Steven,

I was originally thinking of silkscreening, but wasn’t sure.

The texture of the top is smooth, the lettering may be very lightly engraved on the reverse side. It’s hard to determine because the original that I have been working from is still mounted on another turret.

I would like to try and have the graduations & lettering lightly cut into clear plastic and apply a coloured finish on the reverse. I’m not sure if the colour would show through clearly in the machined areas. It’s definitely worth a try.

If not, I’ll try a lamacoid.

Cheers,
