I was going to try yellow for the slash under michelin since that is how their logo is.
If I had hankooks I would do orange and silver/white.

^thanks!
No interest in the trade...I love my gunmetal lugs. Plus they are beat up from being taken off and put on so many times. I need a new set.

Got 3 more wheels to do. Been doing the letters in 4 steps which takes about an hour. May be able to knock it out this weekend. Car is dirty too...needs a bath amongst other things. Updated the avatar one more time.

^ LOL @ 3 more -- such tedious work. Your tire has cooler designs than mine does.

Yeah, it just reminded me of how long it took me; wasn't really laughing at him. I share the pain.

Yeah this mod/coloring is not easy on the hand especially around the wrist and back hand area due to steady concentration when coloring.

It doesn't look bad but I'm not a fan. I think this is one of those trends that will die off in a couple months. Or blow up with popularity of the VatoZone group.

The closest Ill get to a side shot for a while
Finally done though!
Only used 2 sharpies, so this mod was cheap! But it took a lot of time. I got quicker on each tire and was able to endure more letters at a time. The finish on each tire got better. The key method is to outline the section ( do not have to do a complete letter) and then used up and down lines that are side by side to fill in. Fewer lifts and stops, the better. Pen will leave a dot wherever you stop and lift.
Clean the tire! I used a scrub brush, coral blue and water.
