A "normal" modern U. S., Canada, or Mexico plate is 12" w x 6" h. Using the scale in Word to make your plate 1/2" wide is pretty much on the money for 1/24 or 1/25 scale.
Got her figured out guys. Thanks.

When I'm making plates, I usually just paste my saved image into a word doc. Resize as necessary and print onto semi-gloss photo paper.
Took a bit of trial and error to get the sizing right, but now that I've done that, I haver a template saved.
I use https://www.acme.com/licensemaker/
I find the fonts used are more accurate than some of the other plate makers out there.
Would you be willing to share the template?

I use my Ryobi cordless sawzall. I just tape the bottle to the blade. Mine is variable speed so you can control how fast you can shake it. I always do this over a trash can just in case.

It's it safe to just paint over chrome plating or do I have to remove it. I'm looking to black out all the chrome on my kit.
