When/If you do find suitable lettering, here are a few tips:

Clean the surface with rubbing alcohol before applying the lettering, 
then try not to touch it with your fingers.

If you goof up, you can use masking tape to remove any goofed letters.

At least with the lettering we used, it assured us that they were 
solvent-resistant.  So we cleaned afterward with alcohol as well, with 
no ill effects.  The cleaning is important for the next step.

After everything was done, we sprayed a satin coating over the whole 
thing, to keep the letting from rubbing away over time.  We used VHT 
Flame-Proof Satin Clear, from an auto parts store.  (We want it to hold 
up in the event of any spontaneous combustion!)
