I think its all about the stencils.. but obviously not going to work on street tires. I wouldnt have the patience to paint the letters all day, and Id never be happy with it when looking up-close. Seems impossible to make it "perfect".

I bought the oil base sharpie marker sold at Michaels. I do not know how long the brightness of the yellow is going to last but it should last til my next car wash then I'll have to re-highlight it again, I'll keep yaw posted.

You'll notice, I painted the Michelin man and letters in the front but not the pilot sport b/c the letters engraving on the tire is too thin for the tip of my marker so left it alone. Wishing the letters were huge like Bridgestone

Comments and critics welcome...

How are they holding up?

Held up for about a good month... daily driven.
I recently touched it up that took 3+ hrs (all fours)... looks new again.

I haven't mod for a long time, all I've done is wheels, taillights '06+ and S2K antenna, but this painting tires got me fired up. Thanks for the inspiration, I may do this since I don't drive my car much, the paint may stay.
