Custom faceplates for pedals??

Postby D Rock » Mon Dec 03, 2018 6:47 am

Long story short I misprinted some labels a small run of pedals I'm working on. Drill holes are perfect but a few labels are too high. Curious if you guys have any good leads on custom plastic faceplates? Small sheet aluminum with a print would work as well but not looking to spend more than 10-15 dollars per plate, not sure if that is reasonable or way too high. My other option is getting them re-powdercoated and engraved/CNC machined at a local shop. I'm almost leaning towards option 2 as I think that would be classy AF but open to any ideas.

Maybe contact a sign-maker or trophy shop in your area if there is one? I think they can usually engrave a variety of materials in house though may or may not be up to the task of drilling the rest of the holes.
I've got to get off my ass and bring to reality that what has been quoted through existence.
