VIN Sticker and Tag Restoration After Painting or Body Repair
Vehicle painting is a common procedure that helps restore the appearance of a car. However, during repainting or body panel replacement, important factory labels are often lost — VIN stickers, aluminum ID plates, and informational labels. Without them, the vehicle loses part of its official identification, which can lead to problems with registration, inspection, or resale. In this article, we explain how to restore these labels after bodywork and where to order factory-accurate replacements.
Why Are VIN Stickers and Plates Lost During Painting?
During body repair:
- doors, pillars, or fenders may be replaced,
- panels are sanded and repainted,
- labels are damaged or removed by body shop workers,
- new parts come without any factory markings.
Sometimes the sticker is simply painted over or rubbed off during polishing. As a result, the visible VIN is lost — and that’s a critical issue.
Why Is This a Problem?
Missing VIN stickers or ID plates can lead to:
- refusal of vehicle registration,
- failed technical inspections,
- delays during import/export,
- decreased resale value,
- suspicions of VIN tampering or fraud.
Inspectors may question the legitimacy of the vehicle if identification elements are missing after repairs.
What Needs to Be Restored?
After bodywork, the following elements are commonly missing:
- VIN sticker on the B-pillar (door frame),
- Aluminum ID plate under the hood,
- Seat belt labels,
- Informational decals for weight, paint codes, or warnings.
⚠️ It’s important not just to reprint the label but to recreate it according to factory standards.
