Refinishing an antique license plate in 6 minutes!

[@gioflores96]

My dad always said if you aren’t gonna do it right, don’t do it at all. You sir, did it right.

[@shantiwilliams6850]

That man is a gifted artist! So satisfying to watch! Appreciate the detail and prep (love) put it in. Our work is only as good as our prep! Much respect. Blessings

[@SOSCustomz]

Thanks bro

[@bobdefalco]

I tried to do this over the past view days with a variety of paints and tools. You made this look effortless. Skills, man - you guys have them and in huge amounts.

[@SOSCustomz]

Thanks bro

How would you go about restoring an 80's CA "Sunset" plate? I want to restore mine but the sunset graphic is a bit trickier.

[@markustolenitno]

I like the patina look but your work is amazing

[@ostrich67]

Very nice result! Can you tell me what brush you used? Looks like a sign painter's brush, and I'm guessing you used One Shot on the numbers, right?

[@SOSCustomz]

One shot for the numbers, sign painters brush as well good job

[@ExhibitTruth]

Beautiful. I think the takeaway for me is that you ca order black/yellow plates! Nice work, that plate looks brand new!

[@gustavoesqueda9964]

True. But , they’ll charge you an annual fee as if personized plates. Also , you won’t get the correct series of Lettering & Numbers. Vs. stock OG’s .

[@EBikes420]

Nicely Done. I ordered a small JOE license plate for my E Bike but it's the wrong colour so I will be repainting it red with white lettering. I bought red spray paint and clear coat already but I forgot to get primer and I will use white model paint for the letters and use my finger tip instead of a paint brush. Thank you for this video :)

[@SOSCustomz]

Glad I was able to help you out

[@canam851]

My question is what do you do if the original plate had reflective properties in the paint?

[@eliworks8549]

Use reflective paint.

[@bobtailsthecat]

Looks amazing, i want to preserve mine from getting bad, is there a special clear coat or something i can put on a plate ?

[@wlc1980]

Nice work! I want to restore a 1983 Georgia plate for my 85 SS Monte Carlo, problem is they have stickers or print at the top that would sand off. I’ll probably have to find a nice original, for some reason the 83 Georgia plates fade out weird. Check them out on eBay.

[@donnunes9978]

Awesome job!

[@NPC-gd3rk]

*What kind of blue did you use if you don't mine me asking? Is it from a bottle or did you custom make it? I would love to know thanks!*

[@SOSCustomz]

Custom mix

[@kikoramirez6803]

I just got historic license plates in Cailfornia & they are white I want the 1940s orange yellow & black or navy letters thanks for your video my 65 El Camino will look real cool with these colors.

Looks great! What is the blue color name looks like Ford blue

[@danielgcooper54]

Exceptional job!

[@taylorebenguard6998]

i used a foam paint roller to go over mine cause it goes over the letters evenly and i use a paint brush to touch up and spot possible missed

[@GreenEyesAnthony]

Nice job! I'm getting personalized black plates soon. What do you recommend i use for a clear coat on them when they come in? I want to use something that will not yellow or crack from the sun and other elements. Is there clear coat in a spray can I can use that you think would last long?

[@shantiwilliams6850]

They have 2k clear coat in a can that comes with hardener built in and activated once pressed (shelf life is 2 days once activated) can get it on Amazon! I recommend

[@torovalenzuela34]

AWESOME... what color code for blue and yellow paint?

[@martinhernandez628]

@@SOSCustomz hey bro I love you work. How much would you charge to restore mine with black and yellow lettering.

[@lauradahlus]

Thanks for the video. What paint did you use? (Oil based, water, urethane? Or) Could you recommend some paint and primer to restore wa state 70s (green lettering and white background) license plates? It's for my cj7 jeep. Thanks again. 😊

[@SOSCustomz]

I used a urethane base coat One shot striping paint for the letters And urethane clear coat That’s what I would recommend will last another 25 years

[@jenniferrodriguez6195]

Awesome work. With all due respect can I ask what kind of brush you use for the letters? Is it a regular pinstripe brush?

[@ChapoChaos]

That’s what it looked to me, probably 00

[@themagicloaf8327]

How can I do this? So I have the black and yellow legacy plates and I want to paint them this exact color. Which color paint brand did you use?

[@11thhourBroPhillip]

Freaking clean

[@hebneh]

I can assure you that, despite how quick and easy the application of the yellow paint looked on the embossed numbers and letters, if you are not an expert with hand-lettering you will NOT get such smooth and clean results!

[@SOSCustomz]

Lmao exactly we aren’t charging for our time we are charging all the years of experience it took to learn all this stuff

[@TZR95035]

Yuup but luckily ebay has kits for the lettering for 30buks just strip the paint sand and paint then apply the letters numbers. DgDistributions on ebay had mine for yrs good quality

What kind of paint are you using for hand lettering?

One shot

[@HunterShows]

It is very nice, although I think it's too glossy. Maybe semigloss is more accurate, I don't think they ever looked like this.

[@SOSCustomz]

It’s also available in satin clear

[@danielalamo2075]

What type of paint do you use? I thought numbers and letters need to be reflective.

[@CanalDePelicula]

This plates are from the 70s pain wasn't reflective back then. Now it's for the cameras to catch the plates clear

Monster good job. Did you use epoxy or oil-based enamel? What if I don't have the spray equipment? My yellow on black refurb was done in enamel and is chipping at the corners and where the vintage metal frame sits.

[@wolfguardian8312]

Ya did a nice job on that plate....Too bad 'ya didn't use a nylon washer between the bolt head and plate....Would't have busted the new paint off the plate upon tightening down....
