Question New dash, where to get new labels for rocker switches???

Getting ready to install a new dash panel I'm having made up... What do people do when relabeling the rocker switches???


Thanks!

I have the dash panels made by a dashboard company who puts the labeling on any way you want. Not too expensive either. to do it later you probably would have to find someone who could silkscreen the lettering.

Laser engrave them. I just happen to to have 2 engravers here. We use them for engraving the calipers we produce and I have done a lot of panels for various people in the boating community. If I can help, let me know.

I appreciate the offer!!! I am using a white plastic type material for the dash and they could cut the lettering, but it won't show up very well, so I'm not having them do it. If no better solution, I'll have a local decal guy run me a set of labels...

Thanks again!

Have them cut in the lettering, then hand paint inside the cuts with a contrasting color.

As Griff said, you can fill the letters with color. We have cut some plexi panels and engraved the text to a depth that can be filled.
