License Plate Repainting

[jarrieta]

Hello, I saw this car with an XKX*-### plate and I know these plates are supposed to have the Rizal monument design. Anyway his plates were painted white, while characters were green like the older plates. Is this legal? I assume his plate design might have faded of worn off since he didn't have any covers.

Yes, I've read those rules. Of course if the paint is faded or completely worn off then isn't it better to have it painted? It would be difficult though to replicate the Rizal monument design.

tampered plates ang tawag don.. kung faded.. dalhin mo sa LTO sila lang pwede mag ayos non..

Ok so this can be repainted as long as it is done by LTO.

If you bring your plates to LTO, they will be considered 'dilapidated' and you will have to pay for the replacement plates.

...yap,that was also the advised of lto to our old car's plate,nabakbak na yung pintura nya,just surrender it to them and you will pay for a new one;

Thanks for the replies. Anyway, the only problem with asking LTO to replace them is the wait. I think I read it here, it takes months or years to get the replacements.

Using ordinary paint will not reflect light at night... I tried using reflectorized stickers... white for the background and green for the letters and numbers... my plate is looking neat and new... may mga nabibili namang reflectorized stickers sa hardware.
