Here's what I would try.
>From any good hobby shop that has lots of model railroad stuff, you
can buy blank slide off decal paper in full size sheets. This paper
can be printed on with a laser printer.
I would print the instrument face on the decal paper and slide it
on to a gloss white painted dash face. Follow up after it dries
with a few coats of clear laquer (Testors Gloss Cote or Dull Cote
works well) and you should be good to go.
Don't know how this would hold up in an outdoor environment, but
the print on the plastic should be very stable. The only question
is whether the plastic backing will yellow over time.
