I am building a tube based mic pre into a 19inch rack case which is

options are open to a hobbyist?

DATAK bran transfer letters are probably the most available and easy-to-use
solution.

Letters or titles are rubbed on with a pencil and a contact lettering sheet.
The labels are affixed with a matte or gloss acrylic spray (there is also a
"nail polish" type brush-applied fixative, but it is very hard to get even
results).

Raw parts without circuitry can be baked in an oven at low temperature to
speed up the curing process.

I didn't see their website in a 60 second search, but here is a distributor:

Or Digikey. The former has pictures.
