There is a much easier way. I bought some letters from a graphics place called
"Chart Pack" or something like that. They matched the pitch and font and the
are the dry rub-on type. Easy to install and then I would put a dab of clear
finger nail polish over the new letter. Looked fine anf made the radio look
good. Let me know what letters/numbers you need and I'll see if I have enough
left to help you out.
