Sources for "AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE" decals on console?

Any sources for a replacement decal for this on 700R4 cars? I don't have a pic handy (I'm at work), but it's located on the console behind the shifter.

Here's a pic. This Lopedawg's old car.




It's the decal behind the shifter. If someone has a better picture of it, I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to make.

Re: Sources for "AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE" decals on console?

I've never seen any 'replacement stickers' anywhere.

It's actually not a sticker from factory - it's like painted on.

But, I'd imagine that if you go into your computer, replicate the font and size, make a simple word file, and email it to a local sign shop, they'd easily be able to create transfer lettering of it - then you just place on a cleaned off smoothed shifter plate, rub the letters down, and it would last a decently long time as long as no one picked at them, spilled anything on them, etc.

You're right, the lettering is painted on. Maybe a stencil would be better to have. In fact, some of the lettering on my radio face has come off too.

Re: Sources for "AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE" decals on console?

I've often thought a Dymo labeller with black tape & white lettering might do the trick. So far I haven't found any black tape with white lettering.

The more I think about it, the more I think they should be painted on - just like from the factory. I don't know, a stencil? Or maybe even a stamp, using paint instead of ink?


Anyone know exactly how these markings were applies by the factory? As Camaronewbie mentioned, all of these various markings are painted on.
