PPF on License Plates?

[Ocala]

Has anyone considered or have done PPF on license plates? Reason I ask, here in Florida, they only offer a new plate every 10 years without having to pay extra. Last month my wife finally got a new plate after the 10 year period and the old one was so oxidized and discolored that she was actually stopped a couple of times because law enforcement couldn't read it. (And yes, I did try to clean it)  I would assume PPF would help keep that from happening although I know most the products out there will only really last maybe 5 years before needing to be replaced. Does PPF provide UV protection? When time for the PPF to be replaced will it take the coloring off the plate? Any thought on this one? Thanks in advance!

I think most companies do not include UV inhibitors so the paint fades evenly. At least that's what I've been told.

Yes all PPF has UV inhibitors and if you need to remove bugs...bug off works great!

Oxidation removal is not a fun detail, I recommend applying PPF everywhere.

Luckily our plates go on the back of the vehicle. Unless the rum really kicks in one night, I don't think I'll have to worry about bug removal.

How much is a new plate?

Not sure to be honest, but I know it's still cheaper for me to wrap it in PPF than to replace it.

Probably won't make any difference to the fading problem as there are no uv inhibitors in ppf so the protected paint is allowed to fade at the same rate as the unprotected paint.

Not really concerned about the fading as much as I was wondering about preventing the aluminum from oxidizing and when the PPF starts to fail, being able to remove it without the reflective coating that shows the letters and numbers coming off.

Ive done them before. Front plates are required her in Texas. A lot of people with custom plates want them covered as its much easier to clean bugs off of the film as opposed to the bare plate. Custom plates are pretty pricey here too.

How much for a vanity plate? I'm originally from NH and they have just about the cheapest vanity plate costs which is why there are a ton of them in that state. I think they ran for about $100. Just can't imagine plates being that expensive but I wouldn't know as it's not a popular topic of conversation.
