Hello all.
I have recently purchased a Dynon D1A and a D10EMS for my RV-8 and am looking to make a new panel. I am a relatively new airplane owner and am learning the intricacies of working on it as I go. That being said I am totally new to the prospect of creating a panel. I have the plank sheet metal panel from VANS, and my question is how do I cut this for the instruments? Do most people just send it in to get laser cut or is one able to do it themselves with relative ease? Finally, what type of paint is used and how do people go about making markings/text on the panel.
Thank you for the help!

PS: Any ballpark cost estimate if I just paid someone to do it?
