Labeling Home Made Kit Pedals

[D Aussie]

I made myself a home made A/B switch box.

Its in a naff metal case and Ive painted it.

Pretty pleased with my handiwork.

 

Now.. how do I go about labeling the device?

Are there pre made letter sets or something to label your "IN" and "OUT"

I was thinking of those old Letraset kits we used to have in the olden days before computers.

Lectraset is still around I think, there's KROY, Brother as other examples.

There is something called decal paper you could try. You print on the paper with a computer printer, then soak it in water and the printing comes off along with a transparent background. (If you ever made model cars, you know what I'm talkign about.) I've used it a few times,and once you get the hang of it it works pretty well. You need to give it a coat of clear laquer when you're done to protect it.

I take metal boxes to an engraver after they've been painted, then I give it a clear top-coat so the engraved bit doesn't rust. (unless the box is aluminum)

 

Either that or I'll just take a fine paint brush and some white paint and scribble the labels on in some artsy fashion.
