Tyre paint?

[Maha]

Is there such a product that can applied to the lettering/words on the sidewall of tyres...
Paint obviously, but what paint would adhere to rubber?...is it a case of just go and ask at a paint shop?
Not looking to go overboard and paint every word/digit...just a small amount.
Some like to use rim tape to enhance the look of that area of thier bike.

Yep, you can get tyre paint pens from most automotive stores :yes:

Make sure you go for a ride along the motorway - straight after you paint your tires. Dont wait. Makes the paint dry better....

Years back you could get a special tyre crayon (for want of another word).

I bought quite a good one from this guy on TradeMe: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Members/Listings.aspx?member=2201009

Works really well, sticks like shit on a shoe to the sidewall. I find that it lasts about 6 months then starts to crack a bit through sidewall flex, super easy to touch up though.
After I did it I actually had a few people ask where I got the Bridgestone BT45 "specials" from... :facepalm:
