Source for Derailleur lettering
 
Is there a source for derailleur lettering? Specifically, the SunTour Cyclone? Most all of the lettering on the 3rd gen Cyclone rear derailleur I just picked up is gone, and it'd look better either all removed or possibly replaced. I suppose I could use some rub-on transfer lettering, but it'd be nice if there was something already out there. I have a buddy with a computerized vinyl cutter, but I doubt it can make lettering that small/fine.

Anyone???

original was probably not silk-screened but more likely pad-printed (known as a "tampo print").
I'd probably get a decal made on clear vinyl film and just live with the slight shine of the vinyl...but I'd never sweat this kind of detail, I'm happy when the graphics disappear and have removed more than I've added. Paint stripper and a Q-tip works for that.
