I'll be cutting/drilling my panel soon. It doesn't have any protective
vinyl on it (if indeed it ever did). Is there any way I can protect
the surface from scratching while I work on it? I need to be able to
draw on what ever I cover it with, although I guess I could draw on the
bare aluminum first and then coat it with something transparent.
Any ideas?

Masking tape.

Tom, you can go to just about any home improvement store and buy
clear shelf paper that will stick nicely. I use this stuff all
over the project when I want to temporarily protect something.
It sticks well, but is easy to peel off without leaving behind
a lot of gunk. Prevents scratching, and is easy to mark on with
a permanent marker.

Sam has good idea. But to better it that idea, use
blue painter's masking tape. It has lighter tack and
won't leave a glue residue if left on for a long time.

Hi,Tom,
I used 2" wide masking tape on mine. I drew a grid of one inch squares on
the tape over the whole panel that was quite helpful during layout and
cutting process.

I've used shelfliner "contact paper" from wally world that has "post it"
type adhesive to protect any painted surfaces I work near. Its easily
removed and has a descent thickness to prevent booboo's.
