Switch/Breaker Labels & Bezels
 
so last year I powder-coated my dash panels & put in new gauges, I reused the old switches & breakers. I'm looking for a way to dress up the switches & breakers. I saw these at CP Performance but they only come in 6 packs. I have 8 switches & 9 breakers. I was told I would I would have to buy 2 packs at $50 a set. Anybody know where I can buy this stuff by the piece or anybody that will do a custom set? Looking for stainless bezels to match the gauges.

Breakers: http://www.cpperformance.com/p-15776...ot-system.aspx

I also need to somehow figure out how to label the switches. I haven't found anybody that can do vinyl stickers small enough and I don't really want to send the panels out to have them engraved. I'm not sold on doing a wrap on it either. What other options do I have?

On my first dash for labels I went to a local trophy shop and they engraved 1/4-3/8" wide plastic trophy label material (it's 2 color plastic black on the top, the center is white) and they won't fade in the sun. Pretty durable after 2 seasons they were still attached solidly. the place I went had multiple color combos. Believe they were like 6-7$ each (mainly setup fees for each engravement). Worth 45-50$ because they held up and looked pretty good for what they were.

Thanks, I'll look into that but I really want something that looks like it came from the factory. Anybody else?

What I would do is just replace the older toggle style switches and replace them with a rocker style. Every switch has a label so no need to send the dash out for engraving.

Either find a "set" of switches that has every thing you want for about $100, or buy them individually (cost a more). Greatlakesskipper.com is a great place to start your hunt.

that would work but also would require cutting new panels and doing a bunch of rewiring that I really don't want to do. Really hoping someone will chime in and say that I can buy those breaker & switch bezels by the piece and there is some way to label the switches that I hadn't thought of that and wouldn't look like an afterthought.
