I guess the lesson there Nick is to think of the box construction first. You can cover up and get away with things inside but not out. Now if you had made the panel say grey or pale blue than black on clear decals, easy on most printers, would have done.

Another way would be to use those dry rub off transfers, in white, bought in art shops. But for me it hardly ever looks right, just not steady enough hands. Also, I think you would need to strip the front panel and have it flat to pull it off. My way out would be to buy (Crafty Computers) some of the letters on white decal paper (never tried this). Then the letters could be black, put a nice fancy black box line around the label and it should look OK.

But on the + side, great drawings and build.
