Default Helm switch lettering

Does anyone have recommendation on how to replace the lettering on the panel for the individual helm switches? My lettering is weathered and just not too visible anymore.

I have the same problem. I was thinking of using a white on clear label maker but would love a better idea.

perhaps a pin striping shop with a good program for there laser cutter could make you some transfers you can stick on.

I ordered a Brother P-Touch labeler and some white letter on clear label tape. The labels are their "extra strong adhesive" for outdoor use. I will post pictures of how it comes out if interested. This will be a $36 solution (and left with a label printer). It will be nice for others to know what each switch does. No more "Please turn the blower on, far right, third down on the smaller panel".
