Rick, You can do this.....Remove the faces and take pics of each one. Wash clean with citrus cleaner and green scotch brite. Transport both faces to a good vinyl sign shop where the can copy the faces and supply you with decals that will match the letters/numbers and black boxing. Have two complete sets made in case you mess up when applying them. Bead blast the faces lightly to clean and give paint a good tooth once applied. Use body filler to fill any chips, sand, prime and paint. I have had good luck with Krylon rattle cans in primer and top coat. The more coats you apply, the more the finish will resemble porcelain. Wait a week then apply the decals using your pictures for reference. This is an easy in home shop fix. Personally, I usually use Automotive Single stage paint which has to be sprayed with a gun. Let set two days then color sanded and clear coated. After all that I apply the decals. So, you have two options. Use the one that makes you happy. Regards, Paul
