Take it to an engraving shop. Mark out the panel and also give
them explicit instructions on what to engrave. The results are
very good. It may cost a bit more, but I always get panels
done this way now. Messing with rub on lettering is awful and
so are the results. The panel always looks like a custom build
rather than a factory job, but still looks really good.
It is also the most durable way of marking the panel.

You could try printing the layout onto a laser printer
reversed and in white on black and then ironing the pattern
onto the panel and then etching the panel through the pattern.

This might work.  Never tried it.
