The black number plates are paint. Krylon black. I would not suggest doing it really. When I went to put another coat on them due to the black wearing off in spots.. In random spots the paint cracked.. Or I don't know what it's actually called. It was like a crack, but instead of seperating the paint came together and then rised up. Ended up looking like a spiderweb thing all over them.
Took a couple hours, sanded it allll smooth, cleaned with paint prep cleaning stuff.. Painted again, and same thing.
Maby I did something wrong, but basically ruined a good set of number plates. I bought new ones now that I am planning on selling the bike.
