Wholesale printed License Plates (aluminum)

Hello, I was wondering if any of you have any sources for wholesale aluminum, full color license plates? I typically make them in house, but I had a customer wanting more than I want to handle and was hoping to order them. I am looking for a quality plate that can hold up as long as what I normally produce with printed cast vinyl applied to aluminum. I've seen some direct to aluminum prints that didn't appear to hold up to the bugs/rocks/UV as good as what vinyl can. Thanks in advance.

So, you are applying vinyl to the plates? This may be your opportunity to learn how to screen print small jobs.

I boguht some as a test for. aproject that we thought was coming in. We ran on our flatbed. My thought was to create a jig out of 6mm sintra an mill it out to the depth/size of the plates to print a bunch at a time.

Yes, I apply vinyl typically. It's fast enough, easy enough when doing up to 10 at a time, but this job is a few hundred. Screen printing is out, there are gradients and I'm not interested. My dad used to screen print jobs years ago so I'm sure things have improved, but that's not a road I have time to go down right now, thus trying to order completed plates.
