License plate restoration suggestions?
 

Guys, might you have a current experience with a license plate restoration service provider?
I'm interested in quality and actually getting them done in a reasonable time.
I am not interested in doing them myself.

Thanks in advance.

I haven't talked to him in Quite awhile but Gerald Thiele, 10955 Center Dr. Vernon TX 76384 (940) 357-0387 [email protected] used to. IF he is still doing it a report back would be greatly appreciated.

Gerald passed away November 4, 2023.

Re: License plate restoration suggestions?
 

Dave comes to many of the swap meets in California. I've seen his work and he does a great job.

Re: License plate restoration suggestions?
 

For a chuckle only .... In NY State one can thru a special process (photos required) use "historic" plates but their plate regulations say you can't paint a license plate. Obviously people ignore that. Also, how do you deal with their requirement to "hand-in" your plates when you stop the insurance to take car off road for storage ? PS they don't have a system to check that you turned the plates in anyway.

Re: License plate restoration suggestions?
 

It’s not that hard. I done these myself

Re: License plate restoration suggestions?
 

Most people paint them after they get approved by NYS motor vehicle. I’ve also been to our local DMV and they have an old desk in the corner of the office to store the plates in. Me I keep insurance on my vehicle all year long even though it’s stored in the garage.

TJ, the link shows Dave passed away 2015. I think his son took over.
