Color on tire letters?

Anyone know how people color their letters on their tires. Is it a specific company or are people just painting it on. Thanks in advance.

In the past, ive always painted the tire with a fine brush. We had a few cars go to SEMA last year and thats how we did it.

Some guys paint theirs by hand, others use stencils. It really depends on the look you're trying to achieve

Look for a tire paint marker or pen.

There was a video on youtube by /DRIVE about rubber letters on tires.

Paint pens rub off pretty easily, and unless you touch them up OFTEN they start to look pretty poor relatively quickly.

Paint pens are junk, ive used them in the past; they fade quickly and need to be touched up way too often.
