Repainting Gauge Lens???

I searched the forum for this but I had no luck. Has anyone ever repainted the letters/numbers on the 67-72 gauge lens? I know the reproductions can be purchased but I want my gauges to read something other than stock. I am mainly concerned with the labeling of the four smaller gauges along the bottom. Will any of the venders or board members “custom paint” (I think it was originally silk screening) one of these lenses.

The only idea I have so far is to print out the font on my computer using a sticker type paper. Use an exacto-knife to cut out the letters, stick the stencil onto the lens and spray it with paint. I have run into problems in my mind with this however. I have a feeling that I wouldn’t be able to match the custom areas with the ones I want to leave stock and it would be WAY to hard to redo the whole thing in this manner. Any ideas???
