You'll never guess how I did mine ... I cleaned them and painted the proper colour with a spray can ( 28 ontario plates are an Old Catipilar Yellow ) and are you ready for the black numbers and lettering ......... I used a Black magic marker ... easy to do and weather proof ... the pictures don't do them justice (the numbers look edgy but they are not ) they really did turn out nice. And cost all of $6.00

Looks good but the magic marker will fade.

Thats why use a paint pen [real paint] / they look like a magic marker pen and about the same size . ken ct. It dosn't fade. Also striped my bumpers with one.

Never thought of a paint pen ... fortunately the truck is never driven on the road and does parades and car shows .. hopefully the marker will hold up for a while .. I can alway redo in future ... thanks for the idea
