Working on the Buddy Baker / K & K Dodge and looking for direction on the tires. I want to "white letter" the Goodyear. How best to do this. Shave the raised letters and apply decals or is there an after market tire to use in place?
thanks,
PM99

I use white gel pens to do the lettering on most tires with raised letters. Scuff the letters with some fine sandpaper or a sanding stick before you apply it, it helps the ink to stick and not want to wick over the edges so much. HTH!

Or use white acrylic paint. That sticks to the rubber. _________________ ON DECK/IN THE WORKS: too many started to list...
