We saw this demonstrated, I believe at the MIT Media Lab,when we visited as a corporate sponsor, a long time ago. Apparent the work is still ongoing.
Sprayable User Interfaces
MIT News

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) have developed a technique for spraying on user interfaces. The SprayableTech system automatically generates cardboard stencils of artwork users create in a three-dimensional editor, which can be used to apply the art to surfaces by airbrushing on functional inks. The user can add sensors and displays that control various appliances, and a microcontroller is attached to link the interface to the board that runs the code. The researchers tested SprayableTech on multiple items, including a musical interface on a concrete pillar, an interactive sofa connected to a TV, and a wall display for controlling lighting levels. CSAIL's Michael Wessely said, "We view this as a tool that will allow humans to interact with and use their environment in newfound ways.” ... '
