Auto Barn has a California duster on sale for 14.99 (from 19.99).. Went to get one today, and found a white tire paint marker for 5.99. Bought it and did part of one tire. Will see if it lasts. Also want to compare it to a standard white enamal paint pen (costs a lot less).

Good idea

 

just found this while reading your post on the pic

I just got told today at a car show, which i took home another First Place... they guy there told me that there is a tire crayon that comes in yellow and white that they use to use to revive their white letters.

He said it does not come off either. i am going to look around and see if i can get it here at some of the speciality auto paint stores

 

Sounds good CJ. Keep us posted on that as I would like to get a tire paint that will stay on.

 

I am not overly optimistic that my paint will last.

Now that you jogged my memory, I remember those tire crayons. The only problem was that as the wore down, the point was not sharp enough for detail spots. You needed to sharpen it by rubbing it on the pavement.

Let me (us) know if you find them

 

That's what I used on mine. Got it at Car Quest Auto Parts, made by Shaprie, yup the permanent marker people.

It works pretty well though like Lee says, the end wears down like a crayon and you need to "sharpen" it.

It did a decent job of giving the tires a RWL look. I also used a black Sharpie marker after the paint to shapen up the edges a little.



From this distance they look really good. The closer ya get the less. They do lose the bright white effect after several days but its a lot cheaper than new tires, though they are high up on my wish list.

 

if you want real white walls go to tirerack.com and see what choices they offer.

 

Read the whole thread before you post please.

We're talking about RWL, raised white letters, not white walls.

But thanks for the suggestion. The other problem as you'll see in other related threads is that few company's make them in the specific size needed for HHRs.

 

Here you can compare the look

What do you prefer

 

All black. I personally don't like white letters or white walls.
