MetalCloak — gold zinc laser cut steel licence plate frame

A plate frame laser cut from 1/8in steel, with the MetalCloak name cut into the top and finished in gold zinc — the same coating the manufacturer uses on its underbody skids.

? Important for European customers: plate size

The manufacturer states it plainly: “Fits Standard Size License Plates (12.5 x 6.5)" — that is about 318 × 165 mm, the US standard.

A Polish licence plate is 520 × 114 mm — considerably wider and shorter. This frame does not fit a standard Polish plate.

It makes sense if:

• you run a reduced-size plate in another format (check the dimensions),
• you are mounting it as a decorative piece rather than around a registration plate,
• the vehicle is registered in a country using US-format plates.

We state this up front so you do not order a frame that will not go round your plate. If in doubt, contact us and we will check the measurements.

Construction

• 1/8in hot rolled steel, laser cut
• MetalCloak name cut into the top of the frame
• Gold zinc finish — zinc bonds molecularly to the steel and keeps protecting it after a scratch
• Holes matching the standard plate mounting pattern

FAQ

Will a Polish plate fit?

No — a Polish plate (520 × 114 mm) is too wide. The frame is US format.

Why gold zinc rather than black powder coat?

Zinc keeps protecting the steel after a scratch because it bonds molecularly to it — paint chips off and leaves bare metal.

Does it fit any vehicle?

The holes match the standard plate mounting pattern — what matters is the size of the plate itself.
