Do Gel Number Plates Last?
The largest investment that you ever make in your life will probably be in the property that you and yours call home – but in a strong second place will be your investment in a motor vehicle or motor vehicles.
It is true that cars, aside from classics and some rare models don’t offer the same return on investment as property – but your car is more than a financial asset that is expected to provide a superior return on your investment. It is in fact an investment in yourself, your professional career, and the freedom to explore, as well as an investment in the happiness of your family. That personalized plate is also a unique expression of your individual taste. You may visit this 3D Number Plates company to get your personalized plates.
For many people differentiating their motor vehicle from similar models on the road is important – and making your motor vehicle unique can be as simple as ordering a personalized number plate. For those who want to really make their automobiles stand out from the crowd 3D and 4D Gel numberplates are the first choice.
These number plates are both manufactured of acrylic, but there are some differences. 3D plates feature characters made from polyurethane numbers and letters that are positioned by hand. these rounded characters have that signature Gel ‘wet-look’. 4D characters are more raised and feature more defined straight edges. 3D Plates are understated – 4D plates stand out from the crowd due to their thicker, laser-cut acrylic letters. Both types of plates will last the motorist in excess of around two years, slightly better than the lifetime of the standard plate.
Motorists will be paying a premium of around 20% for the 4D plates due to the fact that they simply take longer to make than the 3D versions and require expensive, precision equipment to manufacture. Typically the use of a Number Plate Maker will help the customer visualise the final product and help with the decision to choose between 3d and 4d plates.
4D plate letters, numbers, and symbols are typically available in a number of widths ranging from 3mm to 5mm and there are also a number of sub-variants of this type of number plate. These include 4D Glitter Gel and Krystal variants. 3D number plate letters and numerals are also widely available in the Glitter Gel finish. it is obviously up to the vehicle owner to decide which one of these options would best suit the motor vehicle that they are driving – and their individual taste. The sheer number of variants does however ensure that there is a Gel number plate that will match the taste of almost any road user.
As was mentioned earlier, the life expectancy of a Gel plate is just in excess of two years. That doesn’t make them that much different from the run-of-the-mill number plates as far as longevity is concerned. However, the Gel plates are worlds removed from the somewhat ‘pedestrian’ appearance of standard plates.
Does this lifecycle mean that Gel plates are a sub-standard investment? Not in the least. They are a unique expression of individuality and pride in the car that you drive – and as an expression of your individuality, they are worth the money you will spend. Differentiating yourself and your motor vehicle from others in a Cookie Cutter World is simply priceless.
