$3.49 for 2 sharpie metallic silver marker.
It covers the black plastic well.
Takes a little time but gives a nice look.
Hopefully it holds up well.

I bought a extra 4 on ebay for $10 + shipping.$17.00 total.I figures if one gets broken off road or stollen(those suckers pop off no tools needed)I will have spares.

I was going to use a paint pen but they tend to be sloppy.I neaded a marker anyway.

If I went to walmart I would of only paid $2.99

Why? It's just a couple bucks for a black sharpie to fix it up. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

fourfourto, I tried this with a yellow sharpie it wouldn't cover so I went with the silver looks much better. Thanks

I cleaned it up a bit after it dryed a bit then rubbed out the top plastic.I would say its 98 99% perfect.

To bad the yellow didnt cover,it would have looked custom.
The metalic silver covers well. Once a year you could refresh it ,just make sure you have the cap on tight and store with tip down.
