When I made my new face plates, I used full sheet
label paper. The first time I tried this I used glossy
photo paper. I could not get all the wrinkles out and
any air pockets really stuck out. For the next try,
I used non glossy label paper. This looks real good.
I don't know how well it will hold up to the sunlight.
I did mine 2 years ago, they still look good.
