[R-390] Paint on counter numerals

[Buzz]

I made new number strips for a speedometer using Paintshop Pro a few years ago.
Measure the circumference of the counter spool, then plot out a suitable size
rectangle, change the background to black then place the number in white.
I printed the strips out on label paper then cut 'em out and stuck 'em on. Then
finished it out with a few coats of clear acrylic.
