Can I Paint My Reg Plate?

[LuckyLucas]

I've just bought a second hand car which I'm happy with but bizarrely (its not so old) the paint on the reg plate is patchy.

The numbers and letters are green - do I need to paint them green again - I want to paint them black...

is the green colour of any significance?

cheers to anyone who knows

and regards to all on here

As far as l am aware, the green numbers are for commercial stuff. Think you must re-register for private use.

Green on white is for 2-door pickups (and I believe other small commercials), painting a different colour would likely attract the attention of the law.

If you really want black then you need to re-register, higher tax rate if it's even possible.

Some advice:

Try to find a green felt tip, permanent ink.

Fill in the letters with the felt pen.

Do not use paint!!!!!!!

A green marker then... cheers

Isn't the different colour as others have said about the classification of the vehicle ? Work use, commercial , pick ups as opposed to passenger cars which are taxed higher which is where the trouble would come in ?

On the subject though (sort of) in theory can you convert a pick up to a car by paying extra tax ?

Thanks.

So it's higher purchase tax on cars than pick ups, but lower road tax/ compulsory insurance ?

i guess it will depend on the cc and type of the vehicle and ownership (personal / company registered) .
