Re: Restoring license plates
I had some 1931 Y.O.M. plates restored for the Tudor by Ziffel in Valley Springs. He sandblasted them and did some "body work" on them, then primed and powder coated. He did the numbers color first and baked, then did background and simply wiped the black away from the numbers before baking. He even matched the sheen of the original plates. They look absolutely PERFECT! Total for both plates -$125.
DMV here in California will give you hassles with if you submit repainted plates for Y.O.M. and they frown on repaired or clear coated plates as well. They inspected my plates and swore they were completely original! Fooled everyone they were done so well. They look fabulous on the Tudor. |

Re: Restoring license plates
What would be the original sheen for plates produced back then and did it vary from state to state?

Re: Restoring license plates
I have restored about 50 different plates.After bead blasting I apply 4 or 5 coats of primer ,then the back ground color and then I use a solid stick permanent marker that is solidified paint for high temperatures on the letters and numbers , let dry and apply clear coat . Paint pens don't go on smooth . Omo

Re: Restoring license plates
Me too. Metal work, then spray plates the background color and then use One Shot slowly allowing the color to flow with artist brush... usually slip of the hand on last number....wk
