License plate restoration?

So, while digging back through the box of stuff I pulled out of my Newport, I found the original license plate that was put on the car when it was bought new.

It looks like hell. The metal is great, but the past 50 years haven't been kind to the paint. As much as I like my BULPORT plate, I'm considering having the plate changed to match the original numbers, and restoring the 1968 plate to its original glory.

It's a tough decision, get rid of the BLUPORT tag, or just keep it, and leave...
