White Tire Lettering
 
What would be the best to get lettering like this on my tires? And have any of you done it? If so share:)http://www.speedhunters.com/wp-conte...entador-06.jpg

Check Duplicolor website. I think they have something for doing the tires as well. http://www.duplicolor.com/products/hotTires/

not worth it unless you touch up every week. First week looks great, then it turns yellowish brown, cracks, and then fades.

I think they will look fresh if you do em before a show or something..

This is right after I painted them, they do look cool:

One pointer, don't try to "paint" them on, but rather use a dabbing motion. You'll get a more even paint.

Bought the tire markers on Amazon. tons on there to choose from.
If you do both logos on the tires - you'll need at least two markers.

I've never done it, I know some like goodyear and some BF Goodrich come with it. When I had my truck, I'd purposely put the white letters on the inside so it couldn't be seen. I think it ruins a look, but that above link is interesting and seems simple enough.

Use Bleche Wite to clean.

He advised getting oil based sharpie pens like this instead http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sharpie-Pain...item5d479526a6

Just make sure you get the oil based ones and not poster paint. Haven't tried them myself yet but going to give them a go.

Never used them but when I researched tire lettering this is what I came across a couple months ago.

just ordered the Sharpie pens
 
Just ordered red and white sharpie pens as they are difficult to get a hold of Canada. Something to do with the oil base. Will post pics when finished. Hankook and ventus in white, V12EVO in Red.

For the Lambo above that's just spray paint, it's used because it's easier to keep up with and allows them to have larger lettering for promotion. I bought the Hot Penz but wash off after a light rain and didn't apply very well. I then tried the sharpie paint pen and it holds up way better, applies easier, I did like two coats drove a bit and did two more. It looks clean for about ten days before needing to be retouched but I only do it for events. I might move over yup spray paint in the future, also the sharpie shines better because it has UV protection. Here some shots but not the best. Looks really awesome when driving around!
