Greetings crew members.

So, has anyone ever tried to make white letter tires from white wall tires?
I'm thinking about trying it.

Scuff the white walls with a soft wire wheel brush, lay-off and apply sticky-back letters onto the white wall (MoPar Wide Oval?), paint the white wall, then pull the sticky-back letters.
Sounds right, right?

What could you recommend I use for black tire paint?

Thanks Man. That should do the trick.
Maybe run it through an air brush...

Now to figure-out what my tires should say. I'm going to research some early 1960's racing tire names, maybe get some ideas there.
When I finish this little 'el cheapo' project of mine, I'll post pictures.
Could be sweet, could be awful...

Thanks to all who posted, Capt. Boompy
