ellis Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Always liked the Cal-look / Cruiser style of car (which mine is more like than your out-and-out racer). Always toyed with whiting the lettering on the tyres so mocked it up a little. Thoughts? Just wrong or could it work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony tt Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 They look ok but I'd only maybe letter them up if it was drag radials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_jza80 Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Could look okay on a white car with motorsport style wheels (BBS LMs etc), but otherwise no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc92 Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 I've never seen white lettering done on skinny tyres. It looks a bit weird to me, maybe because I've only really seen it on old muscle cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_ufo Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 they would only look nice on larger size tyres IMO and not rubber bands like yours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Budz86 Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 I didn't realise you'd bought a muscle car! Congrats mate! Btw; you've photo shopped a pic of your Supe....must be force of habit. Keen to see how it will look on the yank tank! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellis Posted June 9, 2014 Author Share Posted June 9, 2014 I'm sensing the general consensus! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjy Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 It'd look ok if you had a stock spoiler. I'll swap you for mine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetrashcanman Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 I believe Dave R does this with a pen on his car Ellis, I think it looks quite good tbh, hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Less of the lettering, how did you find the Vector supra same as yours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellis Posted June 9, 2014 Author Share Posted June 9, 2014 Less of the lettering, how did you find the Vector supra same as yours? I amended a vector version of the stock one. Drew the rear spoiler, skirts, spats and alloys. Boy got skillz innit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 I thought it would require hard work oh well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjy Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 nice try!! I thought so. Just to clarify, that's a "I'll think about it", right?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveR Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 I believe Dave R does this with a pen on his car Ellis, I think it looks quite good tbh, hope that helps Correct. I haven't done it for a while (although it's on my list of stuff to re-do) but it doesn't take THAT long. I personally think it looks awesome!

Swampy442 Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 If you need tyre pens mate, give me a shout, I can obviously get you all sorts of colours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Correct. I haven't done it for a while (although it's on my list of stuff to re-do) but it doesn't take THAT long. I personally think it looks awesome! http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=160065&d=1351943658 I have seen it on Dave's car in person and can say it looks good but this is most likely due to the thicker rubber and that his highlights 3 points on the tyre rather than a lot of it in your photoshop. In you didn't have such sexy big wheels then maybe this would have worked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest h2jz Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Your tyres need quite a thick sidewall for it to look good. Bit the like the MK2 below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 I love the idea of white writing, have been thinking the same myself but always assumed you needed a stencil and paint to do them, didn't realise you could do it with pens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
