Paint just makes it look weird. Look at the right side of the 8. The shadow from the lighting is only on that side also each of the four has a darker tint to that side. I'd bet my set of 48's that is a vast number and not stamped. Another point. The paint in the center of the eight looks "pooled". If it were stamped it would be the raised portion and the actual curves where the die sunk into the metal would have the paint pooled up
