I made laser-cut stencils for the circuit breakers needing fixing. This was done by first using Corel Draw to make the artwork for the numbers. Next these were exported in .wmf format. Next I imported them into Autocad. Some small cleanup was done and then each of the lines in a given letter is joined into a poly line. Next the lines are offset outwards .007" to compensate for my laser-cutter beam diameter, I then cut the stencils on the laser-cutter using lable stock as the basis. This yeilds perfect stencils every time. I can do this in any one of nearly 1000 type faces I have or with any artwork I create. I used an artists style air brush I have to apply the new numbers using the stencils with Floquil Engine Black paint. This paint is a paint normally used by model railroaders. Any old number residue was removed first with acetone. Note: This is a different method from the actual instrument panels I have done. Since, I have been asked, if you need custom stencils I can do this at a very reasonable cost,
