Number plate colour question

Postby hot rod » Mon Nov 12, 2007 3:05 pm

Hi guys,

I was interested in ordering some VIC issue pop plates for my Marine blue NA. I want to get the True Blue colour but am unsure how close the colour match is to the NA paint colour.

Does anyone have a photo of one of these blue plates on a Marine blue NA?

These are the colours below.

They usually have examples at the VicRoads office.

As Bruce siad they have the various colours on display at the Vic Road offices. Another choice which I had on my Mariner Blue was a set of standard issue plates.......blue Lettering, white background. If you put the thinking cap on you can get some interesting combinations and a lot cheaper than custom plates. I currently have OUR-542, was on the Mariner Blue, now on the Malibu Gold. I might change the colour to white on black.
Another choice could be AMX-590

Thanks guys.

Yeah I might have to go to Vic Roads unfortunately, I hate that place lol

I already have white plates with blue lettering but I suspect white on blue will blend in better. My plates already finish in 888 so I'll just leave the current letter arrangement.

Cheers

You can call up National Flags and Signs at Geelong. They do all the signage for the MX5Vic motorsport club cars. They also do pairs of stick-on plates for us for $30. If you did white on blue or blue on white they could do a colour match for the mariner blue.

Here's mine, been on a long time and heavily stone-chipped now, but never any problems.
