I'm restoring the car and would like to duplicate the stamp when it's done but I can't quite make out the bottom of the stamp. It reads : PAINT OK 12 the rest is a mystery. Anybody ? 1968 GTX hardtop 1968 Sport Satellite Convertible 383/4spd 1933 Plymouth coupe 2002 Ram 2500 oil burner 4x4 2015 Grand Cherokee 2013 Challenger 1957 Chrysler Saratoga Man...I need a bigger freakin' garage.

It looks like all the stamps are "Paint OK", however your stamp definitely looks like it has some additional text below it. Can you take a close-up picture? http://www.mmcdetroit.com/ICCA/References/Inspection_Marks/

I would think a high resolution picture of the stamp with some measurements would work to take to someone that can re-produce it the exact same.
