Hey,
I forgot to mention the last step.

I took a small dab of car polish and gave it the once over.  Shiny!

Nice job. I did the same to mine using a black Sharpie marker. It dries faster than paint for touch ups and looks great now. It allowed for a perfect serial number photo I needed for vehicle registration transfer.

Just refurbished and installed my old data plate. �I think it turned out pretty nice.
Before:



After:
 

I scrubed it then lightly sanded the crud and rust off with 600 wet sand paper. I taped off the edges and the serial number box.
I spray painted the rest in black and let it dry completely.

I then use 1500 wet sand paper and a small block, working in small sections and slowly and gently sanded the black paint off the raised lettering. �It took about an hour worth of sanding. �
