Interesting - but the reg plates would be illegal in the UKcan you spray the paint or do have to do what it says on the tin and dip it?
In the UK reg plates have to have a highly reflective background - white at the front and orange at the rear - with black lettering and numerals.
Hi Craig, As you know, I like my chrome, but that looks great and with your black wheels and stuff it will look like a "stealth mobile" Lucky me will get to check it out in the next few days "in the flesh" Iam going to investigate getting my DAZ001 plates redone in black and red or something if not too expensive.

Just paint the background red - a person around the corner from us used a red permanent marker, but it's fading and looks tacky now.

A local friend suggested I paint them, but not sure I can buy reflective paint in a spray can? I could spray the whole number plate black or platidip it then I have a contact who is a retired signwriter who could do the letters /numbers red neater than I could.
I believe our great federation of unfederated states includes SA, which is quite generous in how you can present your plates, including custom built, hand painted, etc.
Well, it's either changed recently or it isn't policed.
Interestingly I saw a really dodgy handmade plate on the back of a car in Tassie just the other day. I appreciate the feedback guys. I do think if I made them look the same as one of the options on the Tas Plates website I would probably get away with it. If I used plastidip and vinyl lettering I could pleal it off if I got in trouble/ swapped my car...

Just don't quote me in a court of law.

Hopefully this works

Yeah, why pay $145, when I can probably do it for $20
metalized rage which is reflective.
