Title: Best paint for number plates
Post by: mboddy on March 31, 2008, 07:15:38 pm

What is the best spray paint for number plates for both plastic and fibreglass numberplates.
I need a non-gloss in dark green for my IT250.

better to use a green stick on background - much more durable - available from most good motorcycle shops

just use contact, it sticks like shit to a blanket, easy to replace cost like $3 for a full roll and you use the white or the black for the numbers, get the kids to cut them out and then carry spares in your race box.

you could do a 5 bikes for ten years on a roll i tells ya.

I have used contact before.
But those pre made thick vinyl number plate backings on ebay look great.
But then I'll need to paint the plastic in IT blue first.
So now I need to know where to get IT Blue from.

The backings dont reflect the Suzuki Yellow either but ya get that . The backings are race colour backings for the category  so why paint something IT Blue if its  250 green anyway? Just bolt it on an original sidecover you dont mind putting holes in and race while  saveing your good sidwcovers for display.
