A few days ago, while driving on some bumpy highway in NYC, one of my hubcaps flew off. I didn't realize what the 'WHACK' sound was at the time, attributing it to something in my trunk shifting around. 15 minutes later, when I arrived at my destination and parked, I realized that it was a hub cap, and there was no way to retrace my steps and recover the lost cap.
I went to Ebay and bought a set of these for cheap:

Not a bad deal, and the picture looked like it was a spot on match.
The hubcaps arrived today, and they look great, except for the fact that the Volvo logo on it is a sticker, and not directly printed on like it is on the OEM hubcaps. Also, the center logo ring is slightly indented, as opposed to the OEM ones being a smooth surface.
I was thinking about making a stencil of some sort and possibly using some sort of permanent white spray paint to put the logo on. Anyone ever do something like this before? What kind of paint do you think would adhere to the surface properly?
Thanks!
