They look like Hershey Bars straight out of the oven. 
 
Tasty.
 
Amps, speaker and mics.  You are quite the music industrialist.  Still, I hope I don't find any McCue products at GC.  You won't have time to post here.

I baked the black enamel paint onto the aluminum plates at 170* for an hour and let them cool down overnight so that it would harden.
 
I just tried one of the freshly decorated speakers... the name plate made it sound better. ;-)
 
I've always got some sort of project going and over lapping others. Having done the recent metal work on the lathe I figured it was a good time to fire up the mill and make some more nameplates.

Cool.  Or should I say hot? 
 
They look good, Mike.

Thanks for the positive comments!
 
Some of my projects take years of baby steps so it's nice to get to show off some of the stuff that actually gets accomplished.
 
For example; the milling machine I made these on is more often waiting for me to perform a repair than actually making anything for me. Baby steps.

Well, if the amps and cabinets are as beefy as those nameplates look then you've got a great product.
