That is a good solution, but I really need to try and find something that is dark blue. Black just isn't going to work unless I change the color of all of my buttons/joys.

You aren't the only one wishing parts express had a nice blue vinyl
BobA:
You can get blue vinyl at shops that supply seat covering or even some fabric shops carry a bit of vinyl. I don't know how it compares to the parts express vinyl but seat covering vinyls are tough.

Parts express is a vinyl laminate. It is different than fabric vinyl that is used for seat covers and such.

I used to use plexiglass but since have moved on to Lexan. Lexan is MUCH better for control panels...it is so much less brittle and doesn't crack nearly as easily as plexi. You can even use a wood boring bit on it without the fear of death...try that with plexi.
Just paint the underside and you are good as gold.
Here are a couple examples:
