Latest restoration Project: Game Boy pocket - Silver

Unlike the previous Gameboys, this Pocket is fully operational and although the screen has some scratches, it is still pretty decent. Nothing some clear plastic polish can't largely remedy.

Unfortunately the 'Silver leaf' paint is very faded at the front and scratched up all over. I can deal with the faded paint as it uses fairly generic silver paint color but the button labels are far more tricky.

'A & B' button labels practically don't exist any more and 'Select & Start'' is partially faded, the latter more so. If I spray paint on to restore the color, I loose the labels.
Does anyone know of any possible way I can 'paint stamp' labels onto the surface after spray painting? The only other choice is to use printed clear back stickers but that will not look that well.

As a last resort, I could always re-shell the unit into another color but It would be a shame to loose the silver as this version is fairly nice with it's shiny chrome frame.
