The best way is to get the whole panel laser cut and then anodized black


Most laser machines don't like aluminum. It's too shinny, and can reflect
back into the lens. Look into water jet instead.


My panel was .125" 6061 and I got it laser cut for $70 including material.
I never use the panel for an electrical ground, running ground wires to each
electrical device instead so decorative black anodize worked out
beautifully.
