Default What to use for dash switch/button/warning light labels

I know I could make labels with a standard hand held label maker, but I printed some out to see how they'd look... they looked cheesy.

I'm looking for something along these lines:



I'll need ones that say things like "oil temp," "oil press," "fuel press," etc.

I considered having someone who makes vinyl decals make me some, but I'm not sure how legible they will be because the background is carbon fiber. And anyway, I'd prefer something as nice looking as in the pic above.

Couldn't be cut from vinyl. I have yet to find a place that can cut it THAT small.

Oh ok, so vinyl is out.

I know there is a company that makes those custom label plates like in the pic... I was looking up "hidden line lock" buttons awhile back and someone put the buttons in their ashtray and it had labels like those that said "on/off" and "engaged" or something. I just can't find that thread anymore...

We can make something for you and the backing plate as well.
As long as you know what you need.
