EDIT: I painted it and it looks great! jump to bottom of the page to see pics of the process

Rustoleum makes a paint for plastic and vinyl that works good

Why not get some made online? mine were like 10 bucks (for 2 4x4s, 2 jeeps, and 2 cherokees) and they have hundreds of fonts/sizes to choose from. They are still there and look like new 130,000 miles later (old pic... best one I have to see them)
