I have removed dried, overspray paint from chrome trim using only a bamboo cooking skewer. This may work for you if you first soften the paint somehow, maybe with carefully applied heat. If you use heat, be sure to protect the paint surrounding the plaque so it is not softened, too.

Definitely would want to score around the plate all the way down through the primer, otherwise it's going to pull all the new paint and probably the old paint off the door jamb when the plate is taken off.

Those are not rivets holding the plate on, they are push pins with spiral grooves. Remove the speaker grill and they can be tapped out from the backside.

Andy just went through this. You can reuse the pins. Click Here

Where does one find a new paint code plate like that? I know the one on my Six was painted over long ago (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

As already suggested, carefully cut around the edge with a razor.
Remove the speaker and push the rivets out from behind.
Replacements are available from Stoddard.
When the tag is in your hand you might even be able to peel the paint off.
Poor prep is in your favor. After that a plastic razor or plastic putty knife sounds good. But do it on a flat surface.

It might be worth removing yours and trying to remove the paint and restore it. Maybe the paint has protected the screening underneath?

If the black screening is gone, maybe a print shop could make up a vinyl sticker. You could leave the positive lettering, lay the vinyl on the plate and then paint in the negative image. ...Just a thought.

got the NOS plate from a guy in Germany that had a lot of -6 stuff. The hard part was finding the correct stamps. Sadly the P/N is not readable on the sticker

This was one of his more minor abortions that I had to deal with. He lost my front turn signal buckets, wiper arms, wiper arm hardware, side marker lights, hood crest, and installed the fog lights upside down, etc. He ended up hurting his back and in the hospital for a month...had to close his shop. I had to deal with his uncle..whos IQ is printed on the side of a shoe box. I was actually just happy I got the car back.


Wow. Hopefully he at least painted it the right color!

If I could get more from my Germany contact what would you be willing to pay for one stamped with your info? The one Stoddard and AA has is not correct for our cars and looks to be for 356 era cars

Wow did not know the pins were not rivets!

My plate is bare from this same situation and some one used solvents to remove the over spray. I would like to remove it and see if the black could be replaced or even a new plaque be used.

Any one know where to source a early style plaque? all the ones I have seen are not the same as the ones that came on the 914-6 models.

I would be willing to pay a reasonable price....this is my baby....had it from new and have many great memories.....I have tried to retore the thing to as close to original as possible with minor mods that I did back in its day......the paint on that plate really pisses me off. If you could get it count me in.

The parts catalog lists a "badge for lacquers" p/n PCG 701 105 00 on the page with all the stickers. The Karmann plate is the only place that has the paint code so this is most likely it.

I'm glad you said it Glenn. Never saw one stamped. Would have been a nice touch. I guess Karmann wasn't too proud of them.
BMW CSs are Karmann bodys too and whey rust equally well.
Almost as mysterious as no records of transmission numbers.
I must say it does look good when the blank space is filled.
