    Where to buy labels for instrument panel marking?

    Where can I get some nice looking labels for marking the switches/knobs/buttons, etc on an instrument panel?

    Aircraft Spruce sells them: http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalo...?clickkey=5719

    as does Wicks: http://aircraftproducts.wicksaircraf...ksaircraft.com

    Other options include the EAA registration kit (it comes with a sheet of labels) or roll your own (what I plan to do) with a label maker. The ultimate is to screen print them on (they sell kits) but that's more work and money than I want to invest in.

    Brother makes a very nice label printer that connects to your home computer. They sell different color and width tapes. I use the black on clear and white on clear tapes. The software lets you pick the font, font size, etc.

    And you can label your tool box drawers, your storage boxes, etc. so in the end it is very cost effective.

    Best of luck,
