I don't know of any replacement ones but you can find all sorts of paint for plastic at the auto parts stores.

Rustoleum has a paint just for plastic also.

I just put a piece of brown tape on the bottom when I am at a shoot. I know other guys that use a tool to burn in their initials. Personally I like the tape because its easy to see and if you want to sell your gun or mag you still have stock mags (not mags with pink plates).

Thanks for the replys. I have an idea if someone can check this out. Since the beretta mags work in the XD with a little modding. Are the plates interchangable? Beretta makes colored plates so maybe I can get those and change them out.

Hey Snakeboy....if you try that let us know how that works out. I tried painting mine using plastic paint and they came out terrible. I was thinking about using vinyl paint. I used to do a lot of fiberglass speaker enclosures for cars and found the vinyl paint to work the best.
