Hi
I've had good luck with wet slide decals. You can get the blank sheets for either Ink Jet wet slide or Laser printer wet slide decals, Both types will allow you to print anything you want and any font or size on you computer using just a word processor. Only problem is getting white as neither the Ink Jet or the Laser printers do White. There was one printer (no longer made) that would print with white ink.. Can't recall the brand at the moment.
On the wet slide decals for laser schemes they work just like the old fashioned Technical decals, the Wet slide for Ink Jet printers must be sprayed with a clear Krylon type spray before use to prevent the ink from running. I use both types with excellent results. And of course both types will require a good coating of Krylon type spray when completed to blend the backing into the panel paint. While this won't help with the R390/A white lettering, it's a great solution to black and other colors on projects. Might even work with the old Hallicrafters Green Lettering on some of their flat black paint schemes.
Do a search on google for wet transfer decal paper.
