Default N Number sticker

Does anyone have a good source for a small N number sticker for the Instrument panel.

Default Plastic tag

I went to the local trophy shop and had plastic tags (like name badges) made. They have a sticky back to adhere to the panel.

I did that too, only I had them made from metal. Should last forever.

I printed all my instrument panel labels as black type on clear tape and sprayed clear matte lacquer over the whole panel after applying them. It gives a longlasting durable result that looks professional.

Trophy shop. They can do things now that you wouldn't believe, and it is inexpensive. Computer - based text and graphics - no problem. It's not your dad's engraving anymore...

I used doityourselflettering.com for the N number. The other text you can see in the photo was silk screened.

Just had a new panel installed and in the process of doing my own panel labeling with a Brother P-Touch. I am using white lettering on clear tape. Panel color is dark gray.

Should be finished very soon and will post photos and comments.

I'll send you a vinyl paint mask of the number if you'll send me back a picture of the finished product. It will look silkscreened.

Local trophy shop did these in solid brass for 4 or 5 dollars total. I love them, they have sticky stuff on the back already too.
