   if you want them black then t-cut them like everyone else does.
   
   Or do what i did which took less than 10 mins to do both boot badges and use a 1000 grit, (wet) and polish the silver off of them, then use a little rubbing compound to bring them up shiny. Takes no time at all.

   t-cut is ok as long as your careful not to get it on the body work due to the softness of the paint !!!

    done mine a couple of days ago with t-cut just takes a tube of t-cut (5.50 form halfords) and abit of elbow grease looks the bizzle too
    
    if anyone lives near me thinking of doing it they can have some t-cut if they like
