Who here has Veiled your reflective lic. plates?

[Audi Quattro]

I was reading the back of the VEIL container and it states that you can veil the lic. plate. I have seen the posts for those who have tried and didnt have any luck with it on the plate with atleast looks wise. Is there a extra process inorder for the plate not to look dark or atleast just a little bit dirty to cut down of the return from laser?

Don't do it! It'll screw up your plate and look awful. Just get a license plate cover and veil that or use a laser shield.

what if I just veil the raised black letters and numbers and they are black. Would that even make a difference even if the plate was being painted by laser?

Don't put VEIL on your plate I would just go with a Laser Shield...Here are some pictures from a long time ago
Here are the pics:

thanks for the post, rob. Do you think if I only veil the black raised letters (not on the white reflective part) on my europlate do you think that will make a reduce signature from the laser. At 1600ft or so you cant even see the plate and prob. will be aiming center mass anyways.

I don't think it will make a difference.

because there will be not enough veil on the plate to protect it? well im off to chance my oil.

the black on your plate really isnt that flective as the white so it would be better off on the lighter colors....However you could by two lasersheilds and cut them to cover your front place

[Audi Quattro]

i did think about that. where do you buy a lasershield? at a car place that sells RD's?

I veiled my rear plate and it looks ok. The key is what kind of plate you have. I happen to have a special graphic plate with a blueish background so it works and the difference isn't too noticable. If you have a plate that is heavy white (ie. NY, VA) then it's a much tougher sell. I can try and post pix one of these days but first I need to find my front plate:)

Roy sells the LS.

On my front plate I took a scotch bright pad and scuffed the reflective coating off and then mixed veil and alcohol 50/50 and applied a thin coat to the plate. Lastly I put the laser shield on (rough side out) and man what an improvement! The nice thing is that the plate doesn't look at all dark and I have never been bothered by a popo, on my old cobra I was pulled over twice because of the dark veiled lasershield (I put a heavy coat on either side)!

One other thing, get a licence plate frame thats flat black if you can.

what is the flat black license plate frame for? larger contrast to the 'new' color of the license plate?
