I think a couple days back there was a discussion on illumination-friendly decals.. You can also do it using dry transfers: - First, paint the number board face with a translucent white paint (that light can shine through from behind). - Then, use dry transfers to apply numbers to the painted number board, but do not burnish. You are using the dry transfers as masking. - Next, airbru***he number board face black with a nice, thin coat. Let it dry. - Finally, use tape to lift off the dry transfers, to reveal white-painted numbers not covered by the black paint. Hope this helps!
