Why not just use acetate sheet to cover the panel. Like what is used with

or just put a good coat of clear lacquer over the front panel graphics

When I have needed to cut holes in plexi in the past, I always created a
plywood / plexiglass sandwich. Just place the plexiglas betewwn two thin
sheets of plywood and drill thru the whole thing with a hole saw.

On the other hand, you could just mount the plexiglass on top of the meters,
this would protect the meter faces from scratches also. This way, you only
need to drill holes for switches and knob shafts.
