White letter paint

[Das Delfin]

Say I wanted to be a bit gauche and paint the sidewall lettering on my tires white like on those cool 4x4 trucks or nascar tires.. any preferred paint? They are for the winter tires so it wouldn't be entirely out of place

Duplicolor makes a paint pen specifically for this:

DON'T DOIT!!! Or do something different than I did. Mine turned tan, in about two days. They weren't dirty, they just changed color. I think it reacted with something on the tire. I used the "Hot Tires" tire paint. I think it was dupli-color.

I just used this cheap crap off ebay. It came out of the pen really bad and had a tendency to leak puddles, or do nothing at all. Once I got the letters actually filled in, it stayed white for 3 months or so before it completely wore away. Never went brown, just gradually faded away.

Got it! I went out and bought that exact same stuff but felt weird about how the letters are stylized when I went to put it on. Now I'm glad I left them black

Sounds acceptable for a $7 product
