I agree with Graham--I have used Nextel and would never use it on a panel.
It looks great when fresh, but you don't want to touch it, because it will
pick up fingerprints and smudges with the greatest of ease! Doesn't clean
up easily, either. I have done my Avid panel in plain old matt finish
black, which is much superior in practicality to Nextel.

Nextel is a very specialized paint, needs its own primer and although it
looks very nice when new, tends to pick up dirt and dust easier than other
finishes. You cannot buy less than a 1 liter kit or both primer and finish.
I would prefer to black anodize the aluminium parts, that looks equaly
smart IMHO
