Replacing Faded Placards

Looking for information and feedback from anyone who has found a good
method or source for printing or having printed replacement placards
for an aging glider when no longer available from the manufacturer.
How about a sign shop, and cut vinyl letters.
You can also print onto clear vinyl iron-on's (meant for T-shirts) with most
inkjet printers, and iron them on to the panel. You have to have a program that
writes backwards, though.
Jewelry shops usually have engraving machines that can engrave into
multi-layered plastic, that has a black top thin layer, and white body, so when
the black letters are engraved away, the white shows up. If it is for an
instrument panel that is to be used at night, that can be backlit for a really
nice look.
That is three easy ideas. Any work for you?
