For over a decade the Old License Farm has prided ourselves in the quality of old plate restorations for our customers in the State of Washington. Due to popular demand we now have expanded our services to include most US States. Please contact us for specific state coverage.

Collectors and vintage enthusiasts throughout the Nation can now take advantage of our quality repair and restoration services. Our restoration process is directed by Bjorn Larsen.  A dedicated vehicle restoration specialist with many years of experience in the art.

A restoration of original plates is a valued investment for owners of restored vehicles. Rest assured, whether you purchase a plate from us or send your own in for restoration, you will receive the best quality restoration possible. Although some plates may not be restorable, most are. Our detailed attention to structure quality, DMV approved stock color matching and fine finishing is GUARANTEED!


We can restore virtually any plate or tag that has all raised letterings, numbers and raised graphics.  We do not restore newer style plates that include pictures, lipstick writing and other  flat graphics.

Processing
Each and every plate routes through the full restoration process which includes:

Complete removal of all old paint, glue and other contaminants to provide the most adhesive painting surface possible

Small dents, small cracks, bends and small holes are repaired.

Plates are prepped with a smooth bonding primer coat, and several coats of quality background and letter paint is applied.

A clear protective sealing procedure is applied to give your plates an outstanding shiny finish.
