Painted White Tire Lettering

JrumMusic · 01-09-2012, 11:12 AM

It looks great IMO.

Looks a lot better than I expected

I absolutely like the look. I have been thinking about doing this as well as soon as the weather clears up. I had all of my bike tires setup like this. Ive done about 10 sets now so far. Never on a car though. I definitely like it.. . and will be posting pics up soon. Im going to do the Bridgestone and Potenza in White, with the triangle on the B red. Follow up soon with pics. Its a subtle standout mod. Not like we are adding gaudy racing stripes to the hood LOL

Since I was a little kid, my Dad had told me stories about how he used to paint "whitewalls" on his tires when he was a teenager, because he couldn't afford real ones...and I've always kidded him about it.

Regardless if this were to look good on modern street cars, there would be absolutely no end to the grief I would get if he ever caught me with paint near tires on one of my vehicles.

they look good on tuner wheels but not sure on the sport 19's.

I like it. Might give this a try. I have a pile of paint pens at home.

I've always had a thing for RWL's. I love the way they look when they're rolling, but I always thoought it looked American-Muscle car-ish. I did this to my Mustang with Kumho's, but I'm up in the air about this car. One thing for sure, when they are painted, they are a bit** to keep clean.

i would love to get one of those stencil sheets so i can just spray can it on in 3 seconds, cause it would save A LOT of time carefully painting in each letter on just to see it crack and peel off in a few days, and get yellow-y/dirty.
here's a daytime update when i just finished it. i have to find out a way to keep them on longer before it starts fading away. i've been painting in 30-40F weather, using a heat gun, and applying 2 coats of Testor's flat white paint.

I like it! Don't know if I'll do it yet, but I like it!

Why not?? My fronts had PLENTY of tread when my rears wore out. Im sure your car rides like poop with mixed tires. No bueno.
