Two coats per tire... about a two hour project total. Not sure how it will hold up. |

I like it, my Dad was a tire dealer and I remember how he used to buffed/knock off the black covering on side walls for the white lettering. It was the thing to have back in the 70s. yep I said the 70s.....

I actually sort of like that, the only thing that makes it questionable is I'm not sure it looks right on such a small sidewall. I always liked the white letters on my older Camaros.
It's been out of vogue long enough (what 10-15 years), that I'm surprised some of the performance tire manufacturers haven't brought the look back yet. And one other concern I'd have is upkeep.....Westley's Bleech-White works WONDERS on real ones, but I bet there's virtually no recourse for dirty letters without making the paint look like ass. I'd be real curious if you have an update after a couple washings. |

Saw some of that... takes a lot of shaking and dabbing is the key to coverage. Did I mention prep? Scrubbed tires with bleach white and then hit the letters with a solvent. 1,2, and three coats. First on was drawn on then the dabbing began. The pen functined well... ya got the shake sh!t out of it continuously for best results. |

let us know how these hold up. Also what solvent would you use to remove the paint if you got tired of it?
We did a really cool Goodyear sidewall on some race tires and it looked very Trans Am but the upkeep was a bitch |
