White Paint For Tire Letters
#1
Anybody knows where/what paint I can get to color in letters on my track tires? Is there anything spesific out there that won't come off?

Hopefully something localy but I don't mind ordering if the price is right.



This are my tires (Toyo Proxes R888):

there is a white felt style paint marker, that stuff doesn't come that easy. Try looking at an office supply store like Staples.

Back in the 80's/90's when I had my Mickey Thompsons you could buy specific lettering paint in the paint section at Canadian Tire. But it was more for touching up existing white-lettered tires, it had an applicator like White-Out.

Ok very simple, paint will dry up and flake off
You need tire chalk
http://www.tiremarker.com/tire-marking-chalk.html

Its no normal chalk, this is more of a think wet chalk not a dry dusty chalk.
Truckers in Quebec use it all the time lol. and ppl use if for Truck shows too. Your local tire shop will have some so just swing by and ask to purchase one.
