Default Ford CMP Cooling System Drain Notice plate graphics

Hi Vincent,

This may be of interest:
Weather has not been great for being outside so I thought I would revisit doing the graphics for the Cooling System Drain Notice plate located on the engine cover of my truck. I had started it a while back because that plate is the one in the worst condition. Posting the photo of it here reminded me of it.

Didn't take too long to do it. Couple hours here and there the last two days at the computer. Getting more familiar with Paint.net helped.

This is the first draft so after a bit of a double check and tidy up I will print and decal a piece of sheet steel the same size as the original and see what it looks like. Original plate scan on right.

Does anyone know how the original plates were printed? Offset, like paper printing? Screen printing? It is darn good ink or paint, whatever it is, to last as long as it has.

My apology for going a little bit off thread topic here.

Cheers,
