[sdiy] Panels with decals

[harrybissell at wowway.com]

I ordered from horisonsisg.com

I forget the price it was a couple of years ago. I think it might
have been around $50 for a ten pack (ie $5 a sheet) but you
could get multiple panels on one sheet. Compare to using
Schaeffer for front panels and its cheap.
(but not as nice...)
