But the problem I have is with a monstrous Northern Electric clear dial, where the lettering in three colours is flaking off. The thing is down the queue, partly because one of the colors is white and the problem is getting that done without going to a silk screener. I even checked with a kiosk T-shirt shop, and they didn't do white either. The suggestion from Bill Morris: "Supercal White Letter Inkjet Decal kits at www.paper-paper.com" ...looks like a solution to achieve white lettering using an inkjet printer.
