    Tire letters detailing



    Once dry, give it another dab.







    Not as naff as I thought it would be...

    I love it! Details on what pen you used and longevity?

      I used a UNI POSCA which is water based so, should not stand the punishment of wet weather and gravel.
      I really wanted to appraise the look and, since I do like it, I now got myself an oil based marker, or rather two, an UNI PAINT white for the base coat (to lighten the black of the rubber) and a PENTEL gold for the top one. Will post the results.

        I did that back in the 70s on my car. I couldn't afford white letter tires. Been thinking about doing it again on my Mustang and in yellow/gold as well.
