You can laser print on plastified auto-adhesive paper. Print several on the same page so that you can refresh as required.

Is it just normal paper? Doesn't it come off after a couple of rain showers?

It's been on for three years and is completely weatherproof. You use a laser printer or photocopier to print on 2" wide sticky backed aluminium tape, then stick 2" wide sellotape over it to make it weatherproof, cut it out and stick on.

Not sure how to print on tape. Do you stick the tape onto an A4 sheet of paper? If so, will you be able to unpeel and then re-stick on the metal?

• Design your label and print it on normal A4 paper.
• Use a Prittstick to stick the Aluminium tape directly over the print.
• Put the paper back in your photocopier or laser printer and print again so that it prints on the aluminium
• Stick your 2" wide sellotape over the top.
• Cut out the lable
• Peel off the backing and stick it to your motor (clean motor first).

QED.

I forgot to mention that you need the aluminium tape that has peel-off backing that most of them have. Leave the backing on when you stick it to the A4 paper.

Ink-jet printers won't print on aluminium and you need OEM cartridges for a laser printer. The pattern ones don't work as well as the OEM ones.

That's ingenious, sir. Thanks for taking the time to write it. I don't remember Valerie Singleton doing that though.

You were probably too busy playing with your Action Man!
