White Letter Tire Paint??

[galaxy]

Hope this is a good section for this....

Anyone got any ideas on a good product to use to paint tire letters white?? I've tried regular white touch-up paint and even something Dupli-Color has out called "Hot Tires" tire paint pen. Both ended in the exact same results. It looks great, but dries and becomes immediately brittle, for lack of a better word. After the very first drive the heat and flexing of the tire immediately makes the paint start to flake away and look like ****. What else can you use that will hold up???

Maybe try cleaning the lettering first with a stiff brush and cleaner, as it seems you may be layering the white paint.

Nope...perfectly clean and residue free before starting. Thanks though.

So your trying to put white letters on a tire that doesnt have them? Or have you been doing to much mall crawling and the white letters came off on a curb?
