Take a photo copy of the plate and try, all they can do is say no. Unless they changed things you cannot change the color of the year of manufacture plates, supposed to be the original colors. I do know people that have painted them to match the car and haven't had a problem. Really, how many police out there know what the original color was for a 38 year old plate.
I have 70 plates on my car. If you do get the plate registered make sure you let your insurance company know. You get around $100 off a year, the fee for 'catastrophic claims fund' is that much less for historic/year of manufacture plates.
