i will pull my finger out and get some pics posted this week.
i'm in japan, and used locally made paper. the key words for finding
the paper
are - inkjet, label, clear and gloss (or matt).
i also experimented with clear holographic labels and the results
were good tho a little garish.

yes, if the transfer was not alligned i was able to peel it off and
re-do, then i covered it with a second transparent layer - clear film
from a hardware store - about $4/square metre. i think you could
spray something on....experiment! but the clear film was cheap,
strong, didn't smell and very easy to apply.
remember - use a squeegee!

i think lasertran may work well with painted surfaces and is cut into
small labels - just a word and dial markings. but it is expensive
stuff and even more so if you don't have a laser printer.
also, i felt the colours were much brighter on the clear label paper
and the lasertran stretched when wet - that was a big problem.
hope this helps
