Ever Use This Stuff Before?

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.

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.

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.
