Gooodyear Racing Tires?

I bought a set of tires from Shelby that are referred to as the "Cobra" tire. The BIG GOODYEAR EAGLE from some of the pics I have seen are a much brighter white than what was delivered to me. What kind of paint is used to fill-in this area? By the way mine is more of a white/yellow/dull look - not good or what I want. Thanks for your suggestions!

Its not a fun fix

Used to you could use a grease pencil but it had lead in it so you can't find them anymore...the way we fix it is to strip off the paint and get a water based paint from the craft store that has some rubber quality to it...3 coats will do good but they have to be redone about 2 times a year.

Mine are the same in the 295/50/15 size. I thought I would just get a white paint stick at a craft store and dress them up.

The paint sticks are oil base paint and not latex. I don't think that should matter though? We useta paint our tires with black paint diluted with kerosene.
