Every antique license plate is restored by hand using techniques refined over decades. No shortcuts. No mass production. Just authentic craftsmanship.
Step 1
We begin with a set of license plates.

Step 2
The original plates undergo our glass bead blasting process. This removes all paint and rust off the plates and helps identify any imperfections in the plates.

Step 3
Next, we use a PPG Epoxy Primer to fill in any imperfections such as pits or dimples that occur because of old age.

Step 4
Then the plates are sanded down using a 3M Imperial P600 sand paper.
Step 5
Next, we use a PPG Urethane Primer to coat the plates to prepare them for painting.

Step 6
The plates again are sanded down, this time using a 3M Imperial P800 sand paper.
Step 7
The plates are then wet sanded down using a 3M Imperial P1000 sand paper.

Step 8
The plates are then wet sanded down using a 3M Imperial P1000 sand paper.
Step 9
Then the background of the plates are painted.

Step 10
The plates are then again wet sanded down using a 3M Imperial P1000 sand paper. They are now ready for Clear Coat.
Step 11
The final step: we apply two coats of PPG Select Clear Coat to give that amazing look and long-lasting durability.
