1962 Speedometer

I was going to try and restore the speedometer myself using new parts from the vendors but how do you finish the black face of the speedometer (black with white hash marks). I though there might be a decal you lay over the face but I have not seen anything like that for sale.
Thanks

That's why most folks send speedo and tach heads out to specialists who have the necessary parts and calibration equipment.
