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,

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!

Thanks. Will give it a go. Where do you get your gel pens?

Can't remember, maybe Michael's?

Or use white acrylic paint. That sticks to the rubber.
