Replacement Number Plates

[Oink]

The paint on my number plates is cracking and peeling off. I guess you do not just get pots of black and white paint and repaint yourself.

Does anyone know the procedure to get replacement plates?

Thanks

Go to dlt with blue book and ask for replacements. They can prepare for a fee

Same thing is happening on my car, anyone know how long it takes to get the plates once you have shown the blue book ?

Just get it repainted. Have you never seen the scenic paintings on Thai plates? Got to cost less and be far less hassle.

It will probably be free since there was a bad batch of plates issued by the LTO a couple of years ago and believe it or not they replaced them all with a minimum of fuss

This was in Pattaya but I think that it was Thailand wide problem

Scenic paintings means the plates were bought at auction, probably classified as defacing if you do it yourself.

Before painting remember that you do not own the plates...

Don't paint them the police could class them as fake number plates and issue quite a hefty fine.

If you look closely at your new plates you'll see the background paint has holographic images imbeded many people (motor cyclists) have been fined for cutting their plates to a smaller size removing the round hologram in one corner.

Best to make sure of replacement first put them on the ground and drive over them 'oops' , don't want to get to the DLT and they say these are still OK your then stuck with them

Iv'e been told I cant paint the numbers myself, have to replace them officially.
