[R-390] Silkscreening a back panel

Has anyone on the list ever tried restoring a back panel's lettering?  I have 
one that I'd like to scrub clean, have it alodined, and then the lettering 
redone.  It has some corrosive streaks and spots that would look so much better 
if refinished.  I hate to lose the lettering, but I don't know how to 
reproduce it.  Anyone have a "do-it-yourself" silksreening kit?

By the way, I managed to straighten the back panel I have that was dented so 
badly.  Just some strategically placed wooden blocks, a protective sheet, and 
a regular hammer did wonders for it.  Whatever dented left two small marks 
that won't come out, but it's hard to tell it was ever damaged.  Now if I could 
get the other panel looking good too...

Thanks,
