NSW Coloured Rego Plates (Red/Seduce specific)

the_scotsman · 28-07-2013, 01:34 PM

It's difficult to gauge the exact colour from an online graphic. Local RTA has a handful of colours on display, but no red.

I'm specifically wondering about how the Red plates look against the Seduce colour Falcon.

Anyone have this combination? Red appears to be the closest to Seduce. The Raspberry is a little too purple.

Thanks

The boss has red plates on a 'Colorado Red' coloured Focus is that helps.

Matches quite well.... will send you a PM with the pic if you like?

Yea, to at least see a photo of the classic red plates would be handy, thanks!

Just looked up Seduce colour... almost a dark red / marone colour. Don't think the plates will match as the red plates are proper red.

Bit like this:

Perhaps get white with red letters?? Won't see the difference as much??

Found one on Google images - Seduce Falcon with Classic Red plates...loks fine!

Nah, in NSW. Hmmm perhaps there are different reds??? That pic looks like a good match actually.

the_scotsman · 28-07-2013, 02:37 PM

Only one red (http://www.myplates.com.au/products/index.html) strange, the photo you sent me looks much brighter red...

I'll maybe have to scour the Wollies car park and see if I can find someone with them and compare lol...

Looking at getting perhaps "07 GHIA" as it comes under the cheap option and still looks ok.

The colours will never be a match and will look tacky as most I see do, so IMO its best to just go white lettering on black background.

the_scotsman · 28-07-2013, 04:25 PM

Yea, that's my concern if they aren't a good match.

Trying to deice what would look better. White on black or black on white.

No one else with a Seduce Falcon with custom plates?

JADED6 · 28-07-2013, 05:21 PM

Edited pics.
My theory is it's a better colour match/closer to maroon/burgundy than black or white is.

Ive seen the NSW Red plates on a seduce XR6 and it didn't look too bad at all, but I wouldn't say it is a perfect match. I am a bit picky about stuff like this too and I think if it was me I'd go with the black background and silver writing - which I have on my Ranger.

That would look classy as well.

Hmmm....some food for thought...thanks guys, appreciate the opinions....it's a difficult call.

I'm really hoping someone with a Seduce car with custom NSW plates reads this thread.

I know the red isn't a perfect match to Seduce, but as long as it's a similar shade and not BRIGHT red then it would be ok.

But the white or silver on black also look stylish.....

Found one: http://www.fordforums.com.au/showthread.php?t=11381514

Some pics it looks good, but some it looks like a very bright red. The black ones might look better after all.....

The red plates on my wife's Focus are a 95% match for the car.

Only leaves one problem. Should I want to buy something newer it would have to be red, or I would need to go to the trouble of getting the plates re-made.

My other 2 cars have personal plates, generic white with black letters. At the time I think that was the only option if you didn't want to pay a yearly fee.

I saw a black plate with Blue writing.
Serious struggled to see the letters. Maybe with a flash you would but driving in dusk or dawn..not a chance

Yea I've noticed that too with colour font on black plates.

Another thing with this is the coloured plates are smaller. And as I have the Ghia rear garnish, it'll expose more of the grey garnish backing. I'm thinking I might colour code the grey part.

But I can't find any Seduce spray paint anywhere. Only checked online thus far. I can only find touch up stuff, but no aerosols. Is it a colour I should be able to find in aerosol?

Off the shelf no but I know I can make it into a can at work and therefore any Autobarn could do it for you.

Autobarn? They don't so any kind of paint service do they?

Yes, I work at one (in case you couldn't tell) and we can mix any paint as long as you have a paint code. Can put it into an aerosol can for you too.

Looks good on Wombat's G6ET in real life.

duaned · 08-08-2013, 08:36 AM

I'm just sticking with the white plate / black alpha-numerals. Personally I think body coloured plates is taking it a little too far. You may as well paint your rims seduce as well!
