My scheme is almost as lame (sorry Troy!). I use all black rack panels
(single, double, painted, anodized, whatever I can get!), and I use a very thin
white paint pen to label them. Admittedly, I don't tend to label very much,
just an abbreviation of the knob's function, or a simple waveshape for an
oscillator output jack, and the occasional line to connect an attenuator to
its jack.
Sure, it's not very sturdy, but you can easily "repair" mistakes. I harbor
illusions of clear-coat finishes and such, but right now I'm still in the
"hey look, noise->vca+lfo = choo-choo sound!" phase. :-)
