"Can you use repainted license plates in Texas?"

If they are painted correctly using the proper colors, YES.

Do you have a 1931 Oklahoma plate?

Hey wait, I was going to ask that.
I did find a very nice one on E-bay last year for $25 and bought it, it would not fit into our mail box...so our post man...in his infinite wisdom...folded it so it would fit, and stuffed it in the box.
Yeah, he destroyed it
I have another, but it does need restoring, thinking about giving it a try this Winter
 
Are you kidding us? He actually folded it?? I'd take it to the post office and tell them they owe you a refund for it. People never cease to amaze me!!
 
That is one reason why I pay for a Private Post Office Box. It seems that the Delivery Riders couldn't care less about the deliveries, as long as all items are delivered. With a Post Office Box, my Magazines don't get folded or wet. Also, when we go on Holidays, all Mail is safe at the Post Office until we return.
 
If so, that is a newer requirement. I bought restored plates (1930), about 14 years ago, and they did closely examine them for using the matching color, etc., but they were approved then.
 
Yes they did examine them closely. They measured the size and compared the color to original. They used a book that apparently had each year listed, likely with color photos of each year.
 
In Calif. it depends on the person behind the counter looking at the plate. I had my friend go to the DMV and one lady looked at them and said no when he checked in. When his number came up another lady took care of he and she never looked at the plates. So it depends on who is looking
 
I think the states that have that requirement want to avoid crude and sloppy restorations. If the plate is well done and colors closely match it should be OK.
 
Two out of three of my YOM plates were restored, one of them I did the restoration myself and even used clear coat on it. Never had a problem with them getting registered in California.
