more than likely...never did it, but that would be the first place i'd start. this could probably be answered better though in the Appearance/Cosmetic forums

you could always just paint them and then use a sticker to replace the H

I bought a set of center caps that had the H in red, but it is a sticker. Looks pretty good.

The way my boy did it he used a honda red colored paint pen and pushed the ink in one corner until it was thick and just tilted the cap and it ran thru the H emblem perfect but you have to be careful not to let it stream too fast
