   well u can either just rub them down using wet and dry paper (1200 grit should do) and they are already black underneath.
   
   Or if you want to spray them colour of your wheels just key up the surface with wet and dry and then few coats of primer, few layers of chosen colour then few layers of laquer!
   
   Hope that helps?

   the badges anit that much to buy mate and ull need to sand them down a lil untill they go somwhere near balck all over and then primer and spray black id say laquer if gives it a better surface if im honest makes it shine like but ya dont need to if ya want them dull dont spray them.
   
   hope that helped

    i used double sided tape mate, put it on and cut the excess off with a craft knife
    
    the number plate pads should work a treat from halfords, the thin ones though
