bobc Posted March 25, 2010 Share #25 Posted March 25, 2010 I've restored black and yellow plates before for my Mustang. I'll see if I can find the yellow paint I used and get back to you. It matched perfectly. As far as the blue, I would try another paint shop and have them match it and mix up a spray can for you. When I did mine, I chemically stripped off all the originally paint so all I had was a steel. Then primed and painted the black. After that, I hand did the numbers. Wasn't that hard to do and they came out great and a lot cheaper than $200!Bob Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/35159-ca-blue-license-plate-restore/?page=3#findComment-313608 Share on other sites More sharing options...
george71z Posted March 25, 2010 Share #26 Posted March 25, 2010 Here in Fla., we can use a year-correct plate on any car over 25 yrs. old. It needs to be sent to the capital (DMV) for validation, but when it comes back, it's yours for as long as you own the car. It cannot be restored when sent for validation, but I believe after it's on your car, that is OK. I have one on my 71 and just recently repainted it. I have not had any police problems.
