Unfortunately, the hole saw got away from me on one of the holes (bottom row, just right of co-pilot's yoke)
and I had to use a thin layer of filler to smooth things out. I ended up using Sherwin-Williams 988 self etching primer and matte black paint for the finish. Next time...

That's OK.....it'll be a lot easier to repair when it gets scratched, in the future.

True, but... The anodized finish is harder, and less likely to scratch in the first place. I definitely found that to be the case with the pre-fabbed adapters I used in the original panel.
