Default red H center caps, mine faded--how to get it red once more?

I was wondering what you guys do when the H's on your center caps fade from red to whatever or black to whatever. Mine were maroon, but now are so faded you could hardly tell it was ever that color.



i tried nail polish, but man was that messy--came out ghetto.

I would just say pop those bad boys out, tape of the silver raise area and spray the H whatever color you desire.

They are 4x114 Accord Special Edition wheels. They will fit on a civic if it has 4x114 ITR suspension, but otherwise no. Use some duplicolor plastic and vinyl paint and clear coat on there, and you'll be happy with the results.
