Re: Old License plate restoration
Jim,
Of all the threads I read the only consistent colors that came up were Ford blue and Old ford blue . Both by Dupli-Color. School Bus Yellow by Dupli-Color and Caterpillar yellow by Rust-Oleum.
Comparing the blue colors to a rather pristine set I already have showed me that Ford Blue was too light .Maybe what they would look like after a few years in the Sun . Old Ford blue is only a little darker than the set I have , so I went that way. My LAPS didn't carry Rust-Oleum so I can't compare those two , but the School Bus looked close to me, so I used it .
Hopes this helps ,
Jim
