Thanks to you both for the replies. I appreciate it. (And thanks for the text color tip, Don. I didn't consider that background colors could be changed. I need to remember "KISS.")
I feel pretty comfortable about the whole registration process. I'm more anxious about painting than registering!
Woogeroo's post from the T Bucket Alliance was my starting point to learn about restoration. However, the link really doesn't discuss paint type, only to shoot it. Also, their project plate was a 1919 specimen. I would feel pretty comfortable thinking they weren't reflective back then.
I had already checked the Felix2 link that you referenced. (Thanks, though!) I think this is more about selling than paint tips. Don, your plate looks gorgeous. I hope, if I decide to restore it, that mine looks as good as yours. For the time being, I'm expecting to strip it and paint it myself. Your point that the DMV doesn't know what happens to it after inspection is well taken.
Big Chevy, I'll take your advice: any repainting will be done AFTER inspection unless they insist on it before registration.
In
TEXAS, all
ANTIQUE VEHICLE plates expire this spring. It is time to re-up for the next 5 year period, so I figured I might as well do it with some really screaming '58 Farm Truck tags!
Once I get the tags how I want them, I'll take a picture of my newly restored farm bumper and the tags. Should be lookin' good'n'vintage for the Gallery update.
