Painted Digits on Number Plates

[John Reynolds]

Can anyone recommend a sign-writer (in UK) who is au fait with painting digits onto motorcycle number plates? I have managed to track down a traditional sign-writer but I would prefer to entrust the job to someone who is acquainted with the correct 'type face', digit sizing and colour of paint, etc. I am willing to post the plates so no restrictions on location.

Many thanks

I use waterslide transfers from classictransfers.co.uk age appropriate fonts look like a well painted or sign written plate you can add end brush strokes prior to sealing.

Where are you based. I have a friend who is a signwriter.

Many thanks for the replies and suggestions. However, I would prefer to have the digits painted on rather than use transfers. As I said, location of the signwriter is not a problem as I have them all boxed up and ready to post to anywhere in the UK. All I need is the name and telephone number of someone who is able to do the job.

Any signwriter can do the job, the spacings are a legal requirement and a little research will turn up the appropriate font, What period are you looking for.
