I wnt to all the trouble to restore this plate....only to find out that Florida does not accept a "restored" plate to reuse...I got a good original one, more wall art.... When I got this you could not read the numbers it was SO rusty. I first sandblasted it , then beadblasted. primed it with 4 coats. then found the right orange and shot 3 coats. I hand lettered the digits. wet sanded the large numbers THEN checked with DMV... So the small letters are still rough....
