Cut your name into the rungs with a hacksaw.

Get yourself some A-Z stamps and a hammer.  Paint cleans off.  Or get yourself a huge staff to sit in the van, always worked for my mums trad cleaner, couldn't get near his van at all  ;D

An angle grinder would do the job much quicker.

i like that idea of using a Stencil.   im thinking i could also use the stencil on other items


 i could use etching primer to paint thru the stencil ,that will not scrape off easily

fashion the stencil from a thin sheet of steel perhaps
