Default Tyre Sidewall Painting Tips.

Does any one know of any companys that supply tyres with the Brand name & size painted, i seen some in Yellow & white before. If i try paint it myself i'll just make a mess so i'd rather not.

try halfords or any main motor factors shop...

the pen has a press in tip for the ink to flow ...

be carefull as the white paint can bleed if too much applicated ..

best to do it ..light at first then apply over again

Which had nothing to do with the sidewalls being painted. It looked the nuts, because it was a MK2 escort....

If the sidewalls weren't painted it would still look the nuts....
