I have never much cared for the look of a clear decal applied on top of a
textured paint panel. But, I am just one opinion. I would certainly love
to hear what everyone has to say on the subject. I think these could be
cool for one-off DIY panels. What about this. There is a company in
Cincinnati that does thin metal trim with screening on them. What if these
could be made thin enough to slip behind the pot nuts? Thoughts please from
anyone interested in stickers.

Wouldn't white marking on clear sheets be better? It would then match
lettering from an electronic labeler. A standard decal sheet could never
account for all the possible variations in signal and pot names in a custom
panel. I used an electronic labeler for a Synthesizer.com custom panel. It
works okay but is somewhat dimmer than silk screen lettering. I'm not sure
I want to muck up my prized MOTM system with decals, though.
