Restoring 1976(?) 4-speed shift knob
So I'm working on putting an A833 overdrive into my '68 barracuda, and I'm in the middle of rebuilding the whole tranny right now.

The issue is that the H-pattern indicator is pretty well worn. Here's what it's supposed to look like:

I'm familiar with some of the techniques used for painting raised surfaces, but I've never tried anything as small and precise as this. The H-pattern and the circle around it are raised, but each little ball in the H has the slightest indent for the gear number/letter. How should I go about restoring this knob? I can do just about any method, ranging from just standing and painting to even making a custom vinyl sticker to put on it instead. What do y'all think?
