Those do look good. Did you dye them?

No painted, next I'm going to dye them to see if the color stays on better.

Looks good. I been doing that for years. The white just gets too dirty.

Your right about the white seeming to get dirty.

RIT Dye works great, you just have to soak it for a long time to make it as black as possible.

I use the RIT Dye too but what I do is heat it up on the stove not to a boil about ten mints later ready to go.

Hmm, black on white is a good contrast, so I would say yes.
