Bill,
 
Consider having the lettering engraved.  About any engraving shop can  set it up on the computerized engraving machines.  See my HBR and matching  HBT transmitter in the Projects section of my web site to see what the results look like:  _www.emmittsfixitshop.com_ (http://www.emmittsfixitshop.com)

I just  looked at several pictures of the HBR receiver series from the 50s and 60s  and several were finished in black wrinkle/crackle paint with beautiful  white lettering.  I tried water slide letters on my last project but  they did not work well at all. I'm no artist so I would never attempt painting the letters.  I have contemplated placing the letters on  smooth metal plates and then fixing the plates to the panel after scraping  away the wrinkle paint.  Does anyone have other methods I might  try?
