Reach out to I believe Matt at Back Alley Creations…they do lots of custom mods and they can probably help you out with this.

Suggestions:
The pins you could do them yourself…just paint them white or off white and make a water slide decal. You can clear them after. One way to remove the existing image would be to sand/wet sand and see if it comes off…you would probably still have to paint after anyway as I bet the the image is stained into the plastic so I would just clean them up and paint them as is, decal, and clear them.

The Glo-balls may be more tricky….but again you could make water slide decals……a quality printer can do fine detail….just print extra in case it wears. I don’t know with a glow ball that you could/should clear it as I am not sure if it would affect it from glowing. It may be fine but no expert on clearing stuff that glows. Maybe someone else knows if clear is fine to use or take a spare one and clear it and see if it glows…I know those are not cheap so would hate waste one but sometimes you gotta try…maybe paint a small area and see if it still glows…

I am sure a solution is out there to get this done.
