To me, it’s all about the brush strokes, actually the lack thereof and painting with a brush leaves brush strokes – I don’t like that, at all. So, until I find a way to eliminate that problem, no white letters.

I did try an acrylic paint pen from Wally World – too watery, same problem.

Duplicoler offers a Hot Tires Tire Paint Stick in white – that’s the next step, but I’m just not sure that the goal of having white letters that look like they were professionally done (not painted on with a paint brush) can be achieved, up close.

On the other hand, if you have a steady hand and lots of patience and don't require a perfect look, the paint works on rubber.

Perhaps I’m way too anal in this area.

PS edit - here's something interesting - a picture of a billboard tire - it's on a Cobra for sale - CSX4000 Series 427 S/C $119,990 - just look at the painting job....therefore, is this the look - the goal? A 5 year old can achieve this look. On the other hand, if that's the standard......the Cobra is listed with only 160 miles on it.
