Dash Labels Tucker

[Track Addict]

Looking for ideas and sources for adding some labels to my dash. With the texture of the dash I don’t think a decal or sticker will work.

The choke and throttle set the theme. Want something period correct and true to Tucker style.

Turbinator 62 mentioned he got some labels from a company in Colorado that specializes in labels for aircraft instrument panels. If he doesn't respond to this thread, you might reach out to him.

But, it looks like the black panel is finished with a black wrinkle finish, so I'm not sure how adhesive labels will work with a non-flat surface.

You could also Google "aviation panel labels" and see what's out there. There are also "placards" which would have lettering on a hard surface that would then be stuck onto your black panel.

I know you doubt the decal route, but thought I would mention:

and the

I have not used it but did see it used on some electronic equipment and it seemed to work pretty well.

In regards to the lettering for a dash, I used AeroGraphics in Loveland Co. Ph 1-800-336-9633 http://www.aerographics.com/

I use them for aircraft stuff and the snowcat. However, I don't think they would work on the textured surface of your dash.

You might try someone who does silk screening. They can do that on all kinds of rough surfaces.

The other option is engraved labels that could be stuck on with double sided tape. I have an old New Hermes engraving machine that does a good job of that.

If you talk to me real sweet I could maybe make them for you, but I can only do block letters in all caps. I don't know what Tucker style is.
