Is It Illegal To Repaint My Fading Vehicle Number Plates? by SLOVFO(m): 4:45pm On Feb 12, 2022 |
My vehicle's number plates are about 6 years old and about faded. I intend taking to an artist for a makeover. To replace them through FRSC will cost about 25K naira while an artist will collect about 5K naira to do a decent job. My worry is if it's against the law. 12 Likes 1 Share |

Same here bro! Mine is 8yrs and barely visible even at arm's length. I've considered repainting it myself ( shouldn't cost me more than 2k), I only worry if it won't fade off yet again after two or three visits to the car wash! BTW, what Law are you talking about? ![]() 143 Likes 4 Shares |

SLOVFO: Yes. The law states that faded plates should be replaced. Whoever is responsible for printing these plates is doing a very poor job. These plates start fading into the second year of use. 79 Likes 5 Shares |

aieromon: That job na scam! Extremely shoddy painting. It's totally unacceptable. We are talking of another 25k here for buying a pig in a poke! Then after 2 years again, you pay another 25k!!!!! 76 Likes 1 Share |

SLOVFO: Here is what I did when in a similar situation. Used a fine brush to make out the letterings in glossy blue colour. Took the plates to painter who coated it with clear coat. Then I never accepted when stopped that it was my handwork. I always insisted that this was how they issued it to me. ![]() 188 Likes 3 Shares |

![]() I was once stopped by FRSC official because of faded plates. He advised me to use an artist to repaint it. So it is NOT illegal to repaint the plate. Doesn't even make economic sense to spend 25k on new plates that will fade after barely 2years. 79 Likes 1 Share |

SLOVFO:we are living is a country where all sectors are corrupt. Why not print on plates to last for 15 yrs, rather than 5 years. Every public office has an ATM machine for stealing. In USA/Canada, their printings last for 3 decades. 47 Likes |

The bigger scammer is the government of Nigeria. Why would anyone bother reprinting a plate number. Just use the vehicle like that bro. 8 Likes |

This is what I will suggest based on experience. Let a painter who knows his job to do it for you and thereafter buy number plate cover. Something like light green cover to cover up the number plate, they will never see the error again. 77 Likes 1 Share |

Why r u bringing this delicate matter . If your car body fade at some point, won't u repaint it again. What kind of question is this. So u want hard-working govt-neglected Nigerians to use minimum wage to buy another plate number for money-looting already-overfed govt official. It just common sense na. U should have asked your colleagues, U will get answers. Haba 25 Likes |
