Daston Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Hey guys Got a tyre pen and thinking about painting in the writing on my tyres when my new wheels come through. However what is it all the writing that is normaly painted or just the make and type of tyre? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian W Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 why would you want any of it 'painted'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkTheBoy Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 "Yall got a Sh'mokey on yo tail" lol Normally just the make and type of tyre AFAIK, not sure colouring in all the numbers would look very cool... ...Not really a jap styling thing though is it? More a yankee doodle favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steviekid Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 I used to do this years ago on my motorbike tyres. The white paint went black pretty quickly and needed redone quite often to stay looking white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 this has been discussed before, general opinion was that unless they are drag radials they looked shit. I think the thinking was that they caused the eye to look at the tyre rather than the car. Personal choice though - do what you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daston Posted March 26, 2007 Author Share Posted March 26, 2007 well got some black tyre gloss as well so if it looks pants I can always change it back was going for this look http://www.topsecretjpn.com/products/jza806.jpg unfortunatly I would also need the rest of the car to back it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mplavery Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 down to personal tast mate......try one side and see if you like it..if yes keep the look, if not it will just rub off. But i do agree with some ppl here, it has to have the right look otherwise it will look pants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Need4Speed Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 wouldnt know I wasnt around then Ah! You missed a great era... when 65bhp was considered decent and a 5" rim was wide:D Not to worry, I'm sure you can brush up on the 70s by watching UK TV Gold.

tbourner Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 I had painted writing on my ZR, had to redo it every few weeks, looked quite good though (IMO). There are probably some pics on here somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucasl Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 yea i think it looks good, im gonna do it on my car eventually http://img142.imageshack.us/img142/2299/supra1800xo0.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucasl Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 If you want big writing it would probably work better if you cut a template out of cardboard layed it over the tyre and sprayed it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
