The rusted Jurassic #29 License Plate is produced in the very weathered condition in which it makes its reappearance in the 2015 Jurassic movie, more than 20 years after Hammond's vehicle had been abandoned at the original Visitor Center. The “rust” is screen printed onto the plate. Our plates are made from aluminum so they will not naturally rust. The plate is smooth to the touch, but certainly has the illusion of looking old and rusted from a distance! Disclaimer: This is a decorative vanity plate intended only for display, collectible, and novelty purposes. It is not a registered license plate. This plate should not be used as a replacement for a government-issued license plate on any motor vehicle. Misuse of this product may violate local laws and regulations.
