Default RE: White lettered 18s or 20s??


ORIGINAL: djb0308

I thought I had seen in some tire shops, a paint desinged for tires. That wa you can make your own.
Actually, I did paint the word Goodyear on the rear tires of my old man's Maverick when I was in high school using white Testor's model paint and a model brush. In those days, just the outline of the word Goodyear was raised, so it was fairly simple to fill in the inner depression of each letter with the paint. I then took a toothpick dipped in paint and very carefully went over the outer, raised portion. I didn't do the front tires, though, since he'd hit a curb and messed up the raised parts of some of the letters. Actually, from more than three or four feet away, you couldn't tell that the lettering wasn't factory.
