Default painted my tire letters... lots of pics!

so i decided i liked the look of the raised white lettering on my tires. first i chalked them out with yellow chalk i found in my garage. then i bought a white paint pen and just colored the letters. what do ya guys think? Name:  truckpics002.jpg

They look alright, never been a fan of the white lettering though but they dont look bad on your truck. Just be sure you dont curb check them or those nice white letters will be gone faster than you put them on.

What's gonna happen when you spray degreaser and scrub the rubber to clean them? Will it remove the paint? Also, I would think just normal driving would crack the paint and cause it to chip or peel off?

I specifically ordered black wall for my tires as raised is more of a sport look which u got goin on. They look good, you did a nice job. Just wondering if your hard work is gonna go down the tubes faster than anticipated is all???

Just hit return twice when you're done typing before posting the image.

They go good with the white fox decal!

looks good but it also looks like you are rolling on the letters need a little bit more tire to pull it off to my satisfaction but still looks good
