My original CA Blue license plate is in need of repainting and general restoration. Has anyone done this? What paint matches the yellow and blue? What method works best, spray, brush, roller, toothbrush, crayon?
Thanks. |

Thanks, Mike.
I think an argument could be made that repainting isn't "altering", esp. considering the intent is to make it look exactly like it did when the DMV handed it to you in the first place. As long as the original plate is used, it's not a "facisimile", either. I note that Tag Dr. specifically states he won't make dupes. You'd need a decent lawyer, but I think you could get away with it. As for the places that make copies out of aluminium or fiberglass, 4463.5 is pretty unequivocal. I could argue with 4464 or even 4463.1 that the plate isn't being "altered" from how it was given out originally, but 4463.5 pretty clearly rules out making duplicates. Too bad. I have a blue plate on my car that has badly faded paint, and no front plate. Legally, I need to get all new plates. |
