Altho I agree with Culver about the various lettering products
available in art supply stores,
they can be somewhat tricky to apply especially to a surface that isn't
smooth
(I've been in advertising for 35 years). A he's right, clear coat will
provide some level of protection.
But I think Mike B.'s idea of vinyl lettering is probably your best bet
Steve. Do up exactly what you'd
like to have on your computer... even in a Word document. Then bring it
to one of those quick sign
companies that are all over the place now. They will give you a
self-adhesive sheet that has it all in place
for you to peel 'n stick in place. I've used this on my truck for
signage and it looks fabulous.
Good luck!
