[HBR] Front Panel Lettering?

[David Newman W3HYM]

I have used decal sheets from Micromart, with  Color Laser printer.  Excellent
results
for lettering.  Only problem, cannot  print white.  So I painted my panels for KW
amplifier BABY BLUE.  The BABY BLUE paint I obtained from an auto supply store.
First
prime then paint.  I then used black lettering on the light blue.  Also, I made some

fancier lettering with my callsign in red.  All looks good on the light blue.

I strongly recommend using laser decal paper, with laser printer.  Will work with
laser
printer that prints black (normal laser printer).  You must get a preservative
solution
to put on laser printer after you print the lettering.  Otherwise, lettering will
come
off in water.  Micromart has a kit with all the necessary solutions, for about $16
or
$17.

Good luck!
