I suggest to use plain pieces of decal without fixing them dull coat. That gives you the option to remove them anytime later if you want to get the original paint scheme back.
I did that with blank green decals on BN GP9 to get "blank green" units for phantasy ISL switching. I intend to do the same thing with blank blue decals on CR GP9. The CR can opener needs to be covered.
As you suggest is the road number unchanged not to mess up with the number boards. Any phantasy letters at the cab side represent your switching RR.
Microscale provides all you need.
