Good evening Charles,
I did a search for water slide decal paper and one of the first sites to
come up was:
http://www.decalpaper.com/
You can make your own decals and apply to the front panel ... they offer
"normal" slide decal paper for both laser and inkjet printers.
For those that don't remember these from your model-building days, you
cut the appropriate decal out of the sheet provided with the kit and
dropped it into a cup (or bowl) of water and let the paper saturate.
Once fully wet, the paper and the decal would part ways, and you then
wet the surface the decal was going onto, and slid the decal from the
backing onto the final surface. You gently burnished the decal to force
all the water out, and the adhesive (water activated) would hold the
decal in place.
To provide long-term wear protection, you can spray the finished panel
with several coats of clear poly or acrylic.
Sure beats the dry transfer letters or -- the Dymo Embossed Tape labels
from the 1960s! (Yea, they still make those too!).
73 and happy labeling,
Rick
