Stamping numbers in blank VIN/Paintcode tags.

#1 Post by Greg Stout »

Both my Reutter VIN tag and Paintcode tag were removed when the car was painted 25 + years ago….LONG GONE !!!!!
I have the hinge plate with the original rivet holes….and I ordered 'new' blank tags from Sierra Madre….
What I am wondering, is there anyone that has 'correct' or reasonably close, number stamps that provides a service to stamp the numbers in these blank tags???
OR…anyone have any 'heads up' advice as to how they may have done it? I was also thinking any local machine shop would be able to help, but wanted to ask you'all, before I got TO busy with this…

Thanks
Greg

International Mercantile offers stamping the numbers when you buy the tags from them. Listed under miscellaneous on their website.
