Instrument panel graphics?

Anyone got any ideas how you could replace the small graphics when you repaint a panel? I'm talking about the lettering by the switches/instruments.

I did it once on my old arrow and got a set of screen printed lables from a guy in the US, but this time I want a better result. It looks as if the letters are painted directly onto the panel, but that cant be how they did it at the factory.

Letraset? http://www.letraset.com/uk/template1.asp?catid=3456

I guess you'd need to put a layer of something over the top to prevent them from being worn away though...

You can purchase a full set of stickers with the appropriate wording from places like Transair.

Or

To do it with a top result have the panel removed and enameled then engraved.
