Question regarding vin/body plates

Why not do acid etched brass ..it's very easy and cheap ? Anyone can do it at home , you use the stuff they etch circuit boards with, dick smith used to sell it and Jaycar electronics .

You make a mask up , variuous ways of doing that .

I'm pretty sure some 80" plates are etched brass.

here is a site

1948 models had etched brass.

The red shift plates on 1950 cars are etched brass with a chrome plating over the script. I cleaned one up and the tell tale yellow shows up in the background
