I actually considered the yellow for the lettering on my tire. Am I weird, or would it work?

I think it should look ok. At this point I only want to do the GOODYEAR EAGLE LS lettering in yellow and leave everything else alone.

Nope. That is why I was thinking something as radical as yellow. It should stand out, and either be great, or bad. I really can't imagine any in between with this project.

yeah, a love it or hate it situation. but yeah, i say go for it. i think it'll look great.

maybe you can put it on the other side (facing inside) of the tire first just to see? yeah it's a bit more work but if you didn't like it, no harm done...

What I was thinking about doing is covering a few letters with masking tape on one wheel and using the highlighter for some sense of finished product. I would just do a small portion of the lettering and not the whole shabang. Even though the hue would not be spot on it still should give me a sense of the finished look.

Dam you, I must race to order as I must be the first kid on the block with colored skins!

The Stig · 05-18-2007, 06:02 PM

is this stuff permanent? or you can wipe it off? anyone knows?

HTM Yaris · 05-18-2007, 06:37 PM

Post pics so I know when to order . Hurry , DAMN IT

They Probably make a black to cover it up :)

PolrWht07 · 05-18-2007, 06:51 PM

I prefer the suttleness to a blackwall low pro tire. I think adding colored lettering will take away from the attractiveness of the rim. that's just me though, it's your car, do what you think looks good. :)

I believe it is much like a permanent marker. It will come off with effort, but not simply wipe off after proper curing time.

i'd say do it! picture stolen from the Netz Cup thread over at the photo gallery.
