Tire Lettering And Side Wall Paint

Well, as it turns out the paint pens I bought for the HHR and Cruiser didn't work to well. Back in the "Olden Days" I several times bought cans of paint to letter my tires with and always had good results, so I just spent a BUNCH of time chasing down leads trying to find something that wasn't in a pen that I could letter my tires with and hopefully get good results. I settled on these guys and gave 'em $15.00 plus $8.05 for shipping....Hope I'm not gonna get screwed again and hopefully this stuff will be better.

I like this idea.
Please continue,
Show us the result.
I want those wheels, too, if your experiment is successful - I'll order.

That should add curb appeal to your panel!

You can see the Panels tires we lettered last fall here.... Eve And Our HHR Panel Photo Gallery by Gary Holt at pbase.com

Unfortunately the paint from the paint pens I used last fall on the Panel cracked almost right away but still looked good from a distance....now it's starting to come off. The tires I did on the cruiser didn't crack, and I drove that all winter but the paint is starting to come off now also.
I remember the stuff I used years ago (70's) on my cars lasted as long as the tires did so I'm hopeful this stuff will work...

Interesting. Not familiar with ranger tire paint, so I'm curious about the outcome.
