After exploring several options for panel lettering, I settled on dry transfer type. The pic is the left side of my switch panel in my IILS. I have a source and can provide instruction for anyone who would like to try it. It is not difficult or expensive, but it is a little tedious. Tom Attachments:

Tom ... looks really good ... "factory" even, except for the sweetness of the carbon!
Nice job ..

Thanks guys.
Scott, the rubber seal channel I used was PN 05-01400. I used the same as a molding around the top of my canopy skirt, to cushion and seal against the canopy. This is 3/8" and has a 1/32" gap. If you need a 1/6" gap, get the PN 05-02200. Both are from AS. Neither is real expensive and they provide a nice finish to a hard edge.

That looks really nice. Dry transfer lettering, something to keep in mind for the coming winter. Thanks for this hint.

Thank Hans. The carbon I used has a "linen" finish imparted by the tool liner when it was laid up. This has two advantages: The finish diffuses light and reduces glare, and it is resistant to scratches - as is anything applied to it. If I were to use dry transfer type on a smooth surface, I'd give the type and entire panel a light overcoat of matte clear. But I'd test a sample to make sure the coating wouldn't curdle the type.
