Sprayed \'em myself - not perfect but I used the back of the plate so the polished/chromed side is still there untouched if I fncy a change! Need to remove them and lacquer them at some point but the paint hardened off nicely as i did it a few weeks before fitting.

hmm cheers for that tiz very interesting & gives me some food for thought. So you painted the white side (looks kinda white on mine) the colour of car, doesn\'t look like it quite matches perfectly on the photo may i inquire if it always looked like that or faded, other etc?
Can i take it from distructions on the back of packet that you can easily, by unscrewing the bolt under the bonnet side, easily remove the plate bit & turn other way up? http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb008\' target=\'_blank\'>

http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/23/im/htfsik.gif\' border=0> lol, in which case nothing to loose from painting other side i guess http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb008\' target=\'_blank\'>

the \'white\' side (at least on the ones I got) is the chrome side - it\'s a layer of sticky paper that protects the chrome. I paintes the side that\'s meant to be the underneath so I have the bling option.

The paint I used is the closest I could get my hands on and, depending very much on light, looks either very similar or completely different. The paint on me pride and joy (the car) changes colour drastically in different lighting conditions.

PMSL shows how much chrome i\'ve bought previously i hadn\'t even tried taking the labels off the white side

i now see that side is slightly more shiny, although there aint much in it init
