Have you tried entering "make your own dry transfers" in your favorite search engine? I just got a ton of hits. As well, the classic wet decal process is accessible to DIY'ers. Some say I received my Master of Science degree in physics only because I turned out beautiful panels for the wall of lab control equipment I fabricated for my thesis adviser. If so, my diploma should have been created using LetraSet because that's what made the panels beautiful, not to mention highly readable and functional:-) I can't letter or draw lines without technical assistance either. I was always amazed at the artistry of those who thought nothing of picking up a wee brush and hand lettering a model they'd just spent so much time creating.
