Re: Restored License Plates
Can you use repainted license plates in Texas?

If they are painted correctly using the proper colors, YES.

Re: Restored License Plates
Hey wait, I was going to ask that.
I did find a very nice one on E-bay last year for $25 and bought it, it would not fit into our mail box...so our post man...in his infinite wisdom...folded it so it would fit, and stuffed it in the box. Yeah, he destroyed it I have another, but it does need restoring, thinking about giving it a try this Winter

Re: Restored License Plates
Are you kidding us? He actually folded it?? I'd take it to the post office and tell them they owe you a refund for it. People never cease to amaze me!!

Re: Restored License Plates
That is one reason why I pay for a Private Post Office Box. It seems that the Delivery Riders couldn't care less about the deliveries, as long as all items are delivered. With a Post Office Box, my Magazines don't get folded or wet. Also, when we go on Holidays, all Mail is safe at the Post Office until we return.

Re: Restored License Plates
Restored Plates are NOT allowed in California. Must be original paint.

Re: Restored License Plates
If so, that is a newer requirement. I bought restored plates (1930), about 14 years ago, and they did closely examine them for using the matching color, etc., but they were approved then.

Re: Restored License Plates
Yes they did examine them closely. They measured the size and compared the color to original. They used a book that apparently had each year listed, likely with color photos of each year.

Re: Restored License Plates
In Calif. it depends on the person behind the counter looking at the plate. I had my friend go to the DMV and one lady looked at them and said no when he checked in. When his number came up another lady took care of he and she never looked at the plates. So it depends on who is looking

Re: Restored License Plates
I think the states that have that requirement want to avoid crude and sloppy restorations. If the plate is well done and colors closely match it should be OK.

Re: Restored License Plates
Two out of three of my YOM plates were restored, one of them I did the restoration myself and even used clear coat on it. Never had a problem with them getting registered in California.

Re: Restored License Plates
Does anyone know who does fiberglass recreations of your plates? In case you lose one or don't want to damage the originals.
