Small simple mod

[Engin09]

hey guys, just thought i'd post up some pictures of what i recently did, its nothing major, but it does make quiet the difference in how the car looks.

what you need:
tyre paint,$8 from supercheap its like a uniball pen
what to do:
paint over what you think looks good .. :)

took me around 2-3 hours to do a good job, had to jack the car up and take the wheel off so i could use the pen properly :)

Can you use the paint you use for walls..?

[Engin09]

Can you use the paint you use for walls..?

i dont see why not, but the Mitsubishi tire pen is much easier to use i think =)

[vyets]

Don't they cut into the tyres for walls? lulz

[Drew]

Looks excellent

Don't they cut into the tyres for walls? lulz

Thats Correct! Only very shallow though

[Engin09]

ye they cut in, does no harm..

and its really easy to touch up the cracks, took me 5 minutes for all 4 tires beucase this time i didnt need to put paint on rubber but instead over he previous paint and it went on really smooth :), so itll last a while if i touch it up every week or 2.

Nice job.The hours spent is definitely an act of love.smile.tay.

[Engin09]

looks really good :), what tyres you got? 31's or 36's? i applied my paint like 4 times in one week, and made it really thick, so now it cracks but it never disappears... ill post up recent photos, which looks exactly the same as when i first did it, no letter has disappeared or faded, apply it 4 times over 4 days and you'll have a great overall result.
