  Sounds just like this 3M Dynamark stuff I got. Do you expose it to UV or
  regular light? What equiptment (chemicals) do you need? How expensive is
  a setup? How big is a $15 sheet? Do you need to have a clear negative of
  your artwork (lettering)? How do you generate a good clear negative
  (large areas of black don't print well on most laser printers)?

  It's like thin aluminum sheets - right? You stick it onto your actual
  panel? How does stick? Peal off backing? Does it come undone at the
  corners after it's been in place for a while?
