    Try coating it in black first…it covers a multitude of sins.

    Bought a few of these in the past from A-Display 023 9222 1222

    Just looked at size 825 x 520, tad bigger than you need may not make any difference. Can’t remember them being very expensive either.

    Derek,

    have you considered removing the ink with screenwash or ink thinner?

    a lot of those panels are stove enamelled so there’s a good chance you
    can clean the ink off, although you should check a small area first.

    Wet and dry the edges of the text, and use a grey backed blockout vinyl to cover???

    Would that help?

    It sounds like a Eurasign Panel, which are available from Spandex – 0800 772633.
    I know the panels are 700 x 500. Not sure about the gap between the holes though. I think it’s only about 220mm on them.

    But you can get spare panels.

    Might be worth a try.
