Tire paint for touch up letters on side wall

[Mopard]

Where can I purchase white tire paint to touch up tire letters or to paint letters on tires that orignaly came in black letters? Something that will last a while.

An option for sidewall painting is http://rangerpaint.com They use a base coat on top of a color coat, similar to painting a house. What you can do is simply paint two layers of the base coat and achieve the same result. Or, use their colors to give the letters a different color. But, it works.

Testors Model paint, flat white in any hobby store or toy section of the large department stores works well.

I actually e-mailed them, and their response was that they do not guarantee that the paint will not eat through the rubber. I believe them. So, it depends on how much you feel comfortable with.

Sorry it took a while to get back to you but Moparchat stopped letting me know I had replies. I just came accross this thread by accident.
Thanks for the info I never heard of them.

I tried that before and it looks great and is easy to apply but it does not last long as it cracks as the tire flexes on the road.

You are probably right but mine is set up with many doors and firewalls. My computer will lock up if I try and open some applications, links, or Adobe Reader files. If I toggle to IE, everything goes through, even the junk ads.
