Is there a place where I can get a custom printed DMG screen cover?

I ask because I'm painting a Gameboy to look like The Doctor's Tardis, and I have the design ready, but I don't know if I can get a custom printed one to make it look more professional or if I should just try to paint the design onto a plain screen cover.

So I guess these are my real questions are these-
Is there a place where I can get a custom printed screen cover, and if so, where?
If no, are there any specific paints or techniques I can use to paint a screen cover?
Also, which brand of paint would you reccomend as the best paint for painting an intricate design on the entire surface of the Gameboy?

I recently made kits that allow you to paint your own. They come with the adhesive. I recommend using model paints, but you basically have to paint in reverse.

It's difficult to have them printed in low orders. I've been looking into some designs and to actually have it look professional is pretty expensive, and not feasible in a low order.
