Door jamb vin sticker replace? Options

[TonyA]

Doing a complete paint job. Should I preserve the original sticker or replace? Where should I get the replacement?

Carbone said they can’t do it… I don’t know what you two did, ut you clearly ruined it for the rest of us!

can i make a suggestion.
if your original is still in good shape.

rather than working right up to the edge of it with new paint, which i agree you can't actually pull off, instead create a deliberate zone further away. use the old bend back the masking tape and feather the paint in to a zone surrounding it. then fine sand, cut and polishe etc and merge the two paint colors together.

i am an originality freak. if i had a good vin sticker i would try to figure out how to retain it.

i know mike who does all of our painting here would be able to pull it off.

we never completely repainted the falcon ute and he managed to blend some areas of paint pretty amazingly. we used the old bend back the masking tape and paper trick.
admit it might be hard to do the masking for that in that area. i would have to think about it. perhaps even create a deliberate zone that is kept away from the original sticker and you just that as a restoration method rather than trying to fake it up as if it was factory. take the attitude of a well thought out restoration method.

its an idea.

i looked on auto atlanta web site and the dr. has some vin stickers.
but they don't appear to be exactly correct for the 74 cars.
our vin stickers have Type Passenger Car as the top line on the sticker.
this doesn't seem to be the case with the AA repros.
possibly an earlier style of Vin sticker from 73s ore something even earlier.
