Dashboard lettering dry transfer.......

PostPost by: berni29 » Sat Nov 19, 2022 5:49 pm

Hi There

I have used the search function, but could not find any recent activity with regards to this.

Has anyone had any lettering sets made up recently? I know custom printing technology has come on leaps and bounds, but I cannot seem to find a really easy solution.

Being able to print white on an inkjet would be great if it were possible......

Thanks in advance!

Hi

Thank you will call them on Monday. Probably too small an item to bother listing them on the website. That I can see in any case.

I did want a couple of custom labels, but I can live without them.

Edit: Found them!

All the best

There are several types of lettering sets available. some are clear stickers with white lettering, some are individual letters cut from thin vinyl with a carrier to transfer them, and some are letraset. If you are going to varnish over them then the latter type is the thinnest.

Sea Ranch and I have both had batches made. I think I have one set left. Sea ranch made some +2 specific additions and changes to the sets he had made. I'm not sure if he's still selling them.

These ones from RD Enterprises in PA are the stick-on style described above. I only used the “Driving” lettering as I had originally spec’d my replacement dash to not letter one of the switches as I did not know at the time what I was going to use it for. The lettering does not exactly match my replacement dash, but I have no idea what Randy Keller uses for his dashes. The stick-on style works better than I thought.

The lettering is a bit hard to find on Ray’s site. I couldn’t find it under Plus 2 parts, but it is in Elan parts section. The carrier sheet is similar to Invisible Scotch Magic Tape, the slightly opaque flat finish stuff in green packaging that appears clear and non-glossy when applied. I did not top coat my dash over the stick on words and it looks OK.

Facia Lettering

Words and symbols for Elan S4 and Plus 2 dashboard. If you're refinishing your own dash you'll want to use this lettering to replace the switch labeling. White lettering is printed on a clear carrier sheet. Just cut out the words or symbols you need and adhere directly to your dash. Most owners put another coat or two of their clear finish over the words to seal them.

Ref. 001B0235 - $14.00

Dash board lettering from RD Enterprises. Stick on style. Each lettering piece is cut from the sheet and applied to the dash top. I didn’t varnish over top of the lettering. Looks OK.
