Painted tyres

Harry_manback · Jun 23, 2006

Always fancied it so i thort id give it a go.
dunno how long they'll last, but the tyres all ready for changing anyway.

ChorleyFM · Jun 23, 2006

Schweet, what did you use, im tempted to do my goodyear?

Harry_manback · Jun 23, 2006

i started with a pen i found in my old mans scooter bits. called tyre art but that was a bit crap and as i had started i went to motosave and get another one, which was dead easy to use but u need to get plenty on as its goes kinda yellowish if u just but 1 coat on.

Excuse me for being thick but have you just painted the white bit ?? not the black .. lol ???

Adam · Jun 23, 2006

looks ok

Englebert · Jun 23, 2006

Not bad! Let us know how long it lasts.

Harry_manback · Jun 23, 2006

its not that thick actually maz, i started with a tin or delux once over, (gloss black) gives it a nice dark colour to start with, then i added the white.

only joking.
i just used AG tyre dressing b4 i started so i could wipe off any excess white paint!
silly billy!

Would be interesting to see how long it lasts . .don't the cup racers have the white on their tyres ?? do the tyres come out of the factory like that or have they done the same as you ?? :S

Harry_manback · Jun 23, 2006

they have it printed on i rekon, they dont have the same writing on there already its just a blank space and they print the word on, all im doing is abit of colouring in!

Ash87 · Jun 23, 2006

dannyboy172 · Jun 23, 2006

Ahhhhhhh ok cheers for that

bigsymo · Jun 23, 2006

Looks ace mate.!!
I did the same to my 'Firestones' a few years ago on my MkII black 3.0 Ford Capri.
Might be tempted to do the same when i get some new boots....

Limca · Jun 23, 2006

thats excellent harry, do u reckon tipex would work. haha, as i have loads of that. lol

Nafoff · Jun 23, 2006

looks cool...may have to do the same once i have some new rubber..would work well with the dark wheels

Clio R · Jun 23, 2006

Gaz · Jun 23, 2006

al · Jun 23, 2006

Looks cool dave!!

Might have to try it on my pirellis!!

Serg · Jun 24, 2006

looks very good m8 espec on a black car. plus as long as you have 4 matching tyres its a good idea lol.

pecan · Jun 24, 2006

Use a Tipex pen.

Matteh · Jun 24, 2006

does it come off if you wash your car (does the shampoo take it off)?

what about if you apply wheel blackener, do u have to avoid that area, or does it just wash off the pen?

looks good

Harry_manback · Jun 24, 2006

not tried to wash it yet, tbh it took about 15 mins per wheel max, so even if it does wash off its not a big deal!!!!!!!

thanks 4 the comments.

lewisniven · Jun 24, 2006

sweet beans, i wanna do that now, lol.

Alan · Jun 24, 2006

Can you get this stuff in halfords?

Iain C · Jun 24, 2006

Sweet Jesus
thats looks gash! Why would you do that?
The only car allowed to have painted letters is the A team van!

Waitey · Jun 24, 2006

You can use tipex yes! White poster paint worked the best when i did it. You have to re apply it quite a lot. Especially if your tyres get a lot of hammer like mine.

Pic on my old valver.

Backing up a statement with something that involves the A-Team ALWAYS works!! lol
