Printing License Plates for Model Cars
Posted by Anonymous on Tuesday, October 14, 2003 10:41 PM
Hey friends, I wish to print license plates for the model cars that I do. I’ve checked out several websites, one of which I use (http://www.acme.com/licensemaker) but am not fully content with because the images are bitmaps and the resolution is somewhat poor. The Platemaker used to provide quality, high-resolution plates but I believe he is no longer in business. Does anybody know if there is a program, or website where one can utilize vector images to make plates? Surely there must be something out there.

Thanks,

John

Get a Macintosh computer, and a copy of Macromedia Freehand (it's a vector program). With that, you can do any graphic you can imagine.

If you are into something a little different.

A Company called Wave makes different sets of Licence plates for japanese Cars.

You bassically get the Plate decals and use dry-transfer markings to fill them with numbers, region names, etc.

Check below:

Maybe someone should drop a hint to makers overseas to do something similar for overseas plates.

I know not really helpful in your quest.
