Painting the letters

[gunrunner]

I am due for a new front tyre soon , but that will have raised black letters and i am wanting to paint them white to match the rear . I have heard that there are paint pens that will do this .
Does anyone know who sells these ?

I used to have a white crayon-type thing for this. You could buy a white paint pen, maybe from Repco.

Yep, the crayon is a lot easier to apply than the paint and you don't need such a steady hand.

What about when you're pisted?

Just tried it with a posca paint marker brought from whitcoull's available in a few colors. Seems alright so far it says water and fade proof. i'll post a pic up tomorrow if you want.

If you take your time you could make it look nice. it really depends on how thick the letters are, the thicker the better. i painted one set and they're thin as and it was difficult but didn't turn out too bad. don't know how it'll last but i'd do it (if my bike was nicer haha). i'll post a pic tomorrow.
