I spent a day or so on the CAD laying out all the new panel and interior labels for the RV-8 and also the RV-6 while I was at it. Lot's of precision pays off here. I emailed PDF files of the labels to Ms Carita in Livermore, a label making company, and ordered up some labels. I marked in red where I wanted them cut out.

Today, I picked them up and they are pretty amazing! All I have to do is peal them off the backing and apply! They are similar to what I had on the RV-8 v1.0, but it seems that they did a better job than the first company.

Nothing makes an interior more professional than professional looking labels, IMHO. These cost me $25/sheet. Well worth it!!

I had stick-on vinyl labels made for my -6. They are the same material that
they use for "wraps" on vehicles. They look good and weigh next to nothing
however they cost more than the laser cut labels.
