How many do you need?  There's plenty of places online and in the phonebook that sell stickers to bands or business or whatever.  I would check with a few of those if you need a large quantity.  I also believe Avery sells a similarly sized sticker in one of their pre-cut sheets.  Wouldn't be quite as durable, but you could run a sheet of those through your printer and make your own. 

Or peel them off the back of the Boss pedals in the display unit at the music shop.  (joking)

I use Avery "Silver sticky backed" paper and make a Logo which goes on my modded pedals.
I print around 50 on one A4 sheet, then spray with "fixative"
They are quite sticky, look like "chrome" and print well as "black on Silver"
You can pull 'em off, but it needs a long finger nail and a good tug on a corner, but
they are quite durable.

MM.

hey marty :)

sounds like a nice idea. what sort of "fixative" do you use.

im imagining the type of serial numbers you would see on the back of "game & watches" - is this sort what it looks like?

cheers
