Hey Blake: Brake fluid will restore a plate that is seriously sun-faded? Very cool if this works... :D I'll have to try it out on all of the plates I've taken off and replaced over the years. I did not think anything would bring them back.
I don't think you can restore the background color once it has faded badly. You might have trouble finding some of the more rare dataplates, but most of the common ones are around. Try www.mvdataplates.com.
I guess I need to add that you'll have to rub/wipe with a rag for a bit, but I was able to restore a plate to near original condition...at least it looked original compared to the faded area that had no overspray!
