    Tyre paint?

    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.

    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).

    Do us all a favour, by bringing yourself up to speed, before pulling onto the motorway.

    I bought quite a good one from this guy on TradeMe: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Members/Lis...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...
    You want some advice - lightning strikes once, it does not strike twice!
