This is so early 1980's when the only thing flashy we had was white letter tires. LOL

Looks great! Hope the color stays....if not, check out that website "tread-wears", They may have colored letters. I have had mine on for about a year....no issues, no fading. They are a B*#&h to glue on though.

Wow! I think the lettering looks awesome.

It's a cool, relatively cheap mod that really makes the car stand out. And it looks really clean too.

Did those who did it just stencil the embedded letters in the tire or did you use a stencil you made yourself? Also, what paint/paint pens did you use and where did you get them.

Thanks!

I used to do this on my sport bikes, track bikes and one of my old cars. It works best on tires that aren't brand new. It will last a while on a DD depending on your driving habits. If you track your car it cuts paints life way down due to the heat cycling (white will turn light brown). Be prepared to spend a good amount of time applying it initially (2 coats for best results) and doing touch ups and upkeep. White is hardest color to keep looking fresh and clean.

Any paint marker found at an arts and crafts store will work. It's semi permanent, in that you may have to touch up the paint after a few months depending on weather and road conditions sun fading or cracking the paint. Otherwise you should be good to go.
