Default Re: Wadar chassis nightmare! Suggestions?

How about a flat aluminium cover plate with engraved legends?

A good engraver can produce a very clean result. The cover plate can be sprayed whatever colour you want, anodised, alochromed or whatever, and the engraved characters can be filled with paint of whatever colour you want, or different colours. Expect a good choice of fonts including some period ones.

Alternatively a brass plate? tres retro!

Spraying clear lacquer over lettering can be iffy as the solvent of the lacquer can affect the lettering.
