Hi Cort, I actually made a decal from clear shipping label paper by scanning the original instrument back plate into photoshop and cleaning it up for printing. I painted the backplate with tan paint and then cleared them after installing the decal . The hardest part is getting the decal on straight as it sticks too well... Thanks for the comment

Here are a few more pics that I haven't posted yet.

I like it a lot.
For some reason my eyes find the white print on the black background difficult to read. I can see your black print on the light tan background a lot clearer.
