I think you can do this yourself. I have done it and with new
products out there it is getting easier.
There are books on gilding in art stores and I am sure the library
too. You would first need the individual stencils of the numbers. A
clear adhesive that is sold for the purpose, a gold leaf or imitation
gold leaf, a soft brush and burnisher are also on your list. I
believe these supplies can be bought in kit form. You most likely
can go to a how to site on the net for more info. Pearl Paint on
South St. has everything you need.

the listserv-- many of us have those same numbers!
