Kristen,

I hope the tires turn out great this time. I may go by one of the artist places next time Iam in Redding and see if they have a tube of that white acrylic paint. What I got a few little cans of and tried was from auto suppliers and was supposed to be made for white tire letters. About the only thing that I did better than you was I knew that all oily stuff has to be off so I didn't use the tire wet until after the paint was dry and then made sure to keep it off the paint. I used stiff brushes and Orange Fantasitc too and also some other stuff that was supposed to be a super cleaner. Still had cracking after a few miles of driving. Then one pait that I used looked great for a short time and turned yellow. I want my next white letters to be made of white rubber with a coatiing on it that is like clear coat to a paint job. Just wipe it off with water and the letters are all shiny. When you get this all worked out and looking good and it lasts, let me know and I will ship you my wheels and tires.

Ron
