Default Labels on Caps Engine Bay

I'm doing an under the hood upgrade project. Part of the project includes painting the caps in the engine bay. I stopped by the dealer today and he told me that I could not buy the labels separate; I could only get them with the caps already installed.

Do you guys know where I can buy the labels??

Have not seen the labels sold separately - perhaps a sign shop can make you some, but not sure about the expense in doing that.

Use a scanner to see if you can copy (or take a picture). If that works you should be able to print using photo paper, or use thick regular paper and lamainate to make a label. I have done this for some similar applications, just not automotive.

Print first on plain paper until you get the size correct. I use photoshop to get the size correct.

I agree, A sign shop should be able to make some vinyl labels at a decent price. I have had some made for my boat and it worked out well.
