That's perfect! Well done Jay!

How many layers of vinyl did you use? If that's just the one then I'm surprised. I would have thought it would need to be thicker to be that visible. That's why I suggested the puffy lenticular stickers.

Nice work and thanks for sharing that.

You might need to switch to epoxy resin and do the vinyl letters like Jay did. I assume that's the exact look you were going for. That's what I had in mind at least.

i used 2 layers mate its a bitch to get lined up but worked as you can see

regards jay

just thought  of another way make or buy a sticker get some 1mm- 1.5mm sheet wax put the sticker on it then cut it out on the wax if you havnt made the mold yet thenjust make it in the mold

Bit of a bodge job but I cut a piece of 1/32 balsa and stuck it into a mould with PVA release agent.  A bit of plasticine round the edge and some more release agent and I recessed my dash plates for this badge. (fingers crossed the link works)

Hello Carbon (Pizza eating) Tuner

I have been think of a possible solution for you. Perhaps you could get a lettered label cut. (the kind you peel off and stick on)

Now remove the letters that you would normally use and throw them away. Tape down the remaining tape into position where you want your letters.

Mask off the rest of your part and lightly sand blast with the finest sand or media through the holes left in the tape.(your text)

It should leave a light fogging of your name on the surface. Similar to etching glass. Another post suggested you then clear the etched imprint of the letters.

Hope this helps. Just a thought.
