Thanks to Jim and Dirk

I now HAVE to paint letters on my tires and do my wheels in black. That said, I found a product on a hot rod site that those guys use for tire lettering but it's only available in Iceland (I think?) Does anyone have any other alternatives? Is there some sort of paint out there that works on rubber without flaking or yellowing?

In the 60's auto parts stores had a white crayon specifically designed for coloring the letters on tires. The crayons worked well but I haven't seen them for years

Gotcha beat!

In the 70's they sold sticky backed white rubber letters so that you could make your black walls "say" anything that you liked. JC Whitney had 'em and I was totally into Dave Deal at the time. He ALWAYS had cool names on the tires in his cartoons and I SO wanted to do it to a real car.

But then, of course, I saw something shiny over there, and my interested drifted.





Hey, what's that? Over there?




And THAT ? ! ?


Oh, there are lots of new products out there, in America I mean, that will work on tires. Even the new Krylon Fusion paint offers hope. I'm gonna try it (spray some into a cup, let it set up a bit, and use a good quality brush) on a set of Hoosers and some Good Year slicks and front runners. Just gotta wait for the temp to warm up some . . . got more snow this morning !

If you get there first, lemme know? If I do it ahead of you, I'll report back to you.

I do that "report back to you" shit all the time. Walk four or five steps ahead of my wife and claim that I can't hear what she's saying 'cause I'm in the future. Sometimes I'll "report" back to her about a future "event" . . . drives her INSANE, usually whips something through the "time tunnel" and hits me in the back or head.

I mean, I betcha I could probably take her EASY in a fair fight . . . but she won't fight fair.

Something shiney? Where!?

There are a few Outlaws, mostly gray body color, some in cool dark green with white lettered black walls,
black wheels, and polished drums running around and they look SUPERIOR ! ! !

Why not do one up and then lemme know how to do the same.
