I took them off and sanded them really good, I then used plastic primer and wet sanded them, I had them shot black at a body shop but only because I was getting so many other things painted. You could probably paint these yourself. I put some new thin 2 way tape on the back and positioned them on a table just like I wanted them (noticed that they are spaced apart more than factory). I applied a piece of wide masking tape over the front of the letters, then peeled off the 2 way tape backing, and applied them to the car and pulled the masking tape off. Bada bing.
