Re: Question for California Plate Restorers
I used "Tamiya Color" brand spray paint for the yellow. Used Chrome Yellow, part #TS-47 for the yellow letters and numbers. It's a lacquer based paint and found it at my local hobby store or it can be found on e-Bay. Sprayed the plate all yellow and then used Walmart black enamel(the 1.00 a can stuff) to paint the plate all black. I let it sit for a couple of days and then carefully used a rag wrapped on my index finger with mineral spirits to wipe the black off the letters and numbers. Don't get the rag to wet with the thinner. I've done two sets of plates this way and it works well.
