Does anyone still silkscreen the proper engine parts instead of using decals? James 205-369-3240

I have used it to restore the faces of the gauges in the instrument panel of a 38.

There is a method I used to make the valve covers in all paint and looks factory.

What I wrote was to paint top of valve cover white.
Then place the Cadillac decal on the area that says Cadillac
Spray the Cadillac blue over all of the valve cover
Then before it dries peel the sticker off
Then after it dries a couple days, use 1500 grit sand paper to smooth the paint thickness
Then clear coat over it all
Done, all paint, no sticker

Not that I know of.  But I have toyed with the idea of trying to do this.
