The one I got is realy 1.125" high. It is chrome plated, but I sanded it with some exra fine sand paper and have removed all the shine.The site is chromeemblems.com. Not only do they have #'s but letters,and some other emblems.All are plated but they say they can be painted.Hope this helps.My plan is to mount the "2" just to the right of the"B" and just up a slitely. The base of the "2" will be in line with the center of the "B", therefore making it appear as if it is squared,as in math terms.It will be bright red.
