Letters or whitewall?

It won't stay put on crawler tires for obvious reasons but i used to do this on my Grasshopper tires all the time when i was a lot younger. Looks very realistic and held up well.

One coat with a professional tire paint marker. Use a toothpick to spread the paint evenly because the tip of the marker is to big to paint such small details.
After a while the paint will crack and turn a bit yellow just like 1:1 tires.

No, plastidip will tear very easily.

I bought a pen type paint off ebay really cheap. It works but doesn't last more than a few runs.

I used the cheapo paint marker style on my car back in highschool, even then it didn't last long. But deff a nice touch when done on the smaller counter parts here.

Johnny I love how Buxom Melons has the ghetto lean "Yeah I'm Baller - What?" Go shot on carpet or not.
