Lic plate refresh - weathered look
I needed to make my plates visible, so I did a little refresh. Going for the vintage, weathered look. Didn’t want to attract attention and make it look like a new plate.
The back plate was rusted through to the point it was un-readable. Used some JB Weld and filled in a few areas. What do you guys think?

Re: Lic plate refresh - weathered look
Nice work! They look like originals that have been around awhile and are still in good condition.
