I am restoring a 1970 750S. With all the de-greasing and paint strippers, my riveted ID tag has no paint left on it. The stamped numbers are still plainly visible. I have seen several sources to purchase a new tag. My question is how do I get the numbers stamped onto the new plate? I searched the forum and the only answer I found was to buy a set of leather stamp tools and do it myself.
I really want the tag to look as original as possible. Is there a better way? Can I send my new tag and old tag somewhere and have it done? Is there a reputable member on this forum that does this kind of work?
Also, I painted the frame and other usual items with the new 2K spray paints and primers from Eastwood. You shake the can for several minutes then place a provided button on nipple on bottom of can and give it a good punch with your palm releasing the harder. Shake the can for several more minutes and spray wearing a quality mask. I really am impressed with the results! Now they even have a clear gloss that does not yellow. (I promise I am not a sales rep! ha ha)
When I purchase a steel gas tank soon. I think I can do a fine job painting it myself.
Spoiler Alert!...,a can does not go far...I am sure it would have been cheaper to powdercoat the stuff...but it was fun!
