Doug:

I make labels with my computer also. I use white letters on a black
background.

My panel is black. I print the labels on paint jet paper in a laser
printer.

Then I coat the labels with clear Non gloss urethane spray paint.
Some software is tough to get black background
with white letters. MS paint works and Powerpoint works but it is tough.
You can refer to a back issue of CS newsletter . Nick Ugolini wrote an
article about doing it. I think he used Excell software.

I'm currently installing my instrument panel, in my Long Ez, using
an aluminum sheet overlay.  It will be painted and I'm experimenting
with creating labels on my home computer and printing them out on a laser
printer (clear background, black text).

So far, I'm not too happy with the quality of my clear label sheet
material (basically, office supply stuff).

If you use the plexi sandwich idea with LED's you could engrave
the labels in the outer opaque sheet and have the labels lighted.
