Replacing Cockpit placards
Buying them from Paul Remde is a good solution. However, if you want to be
a little more creative, try a color ink jet printer with archival ink and
photo paper. Design the plackards with your favorite art/drawing program,
print and laminate. Properly done, a bit of color makes a cockpit look
neat.
Often placards are grouped in one spot in the cockpit. Consider combining
them into one print as with a single strip along the cockpit sides. I've
seen one entire panel faced with a laminated print.

My glider has several cockpit placards that are in pretty sad shape.
One method is to photocopy the placard from the flight manual, stick it
in place, then seal with clear nail varnish (polish).
I've also had fairly good results laminating with clear shelf covering.
