I have been thinking about this for a long time and i am happy that i was able to stumble upon this thread, will try it this week or next week and post pictures. Planning to try buying the small paint can and using it.

[AbdulRahmanM]

Adding pictures, used camlin color paint, as i spotted some old one lying at home. Got into work today morning and this is the result, how does it look guys?


Added an old picture at last to show how dull being ordinary tyre color was.

Simplest solution, buy Cooper Tyres. Some models come painted and it lasts the life of the tyre. Not to mention, that it's also a damn neat job.

Looks good. But it doesn't look like it will last long.

How long did it take for you to complete this ?

[AbdulRahmanM]

I Spent 2 hours on it, it wont last long. i wanted to test whether it looks good, since it looks good, i will use normal paint, which will last longer.

Abdul,
Please post a snap of paint brush. It is very difficult to maintain the accuracy. How you prevent the paint to go outside the letters boundary.

I had painted the Brand Name and Tyer make on my Pajero Tyers with regular Asian Paints white oil paint about a year back. Have been doing some extreem offroading through mud, slush and hard terrain but the paint is still intact.

I had applied 2 layers of paint at an interval of 1 day for each layer and post that had used the Bossini Teflon spray (Available for about 180/-Rs) over it (may be that has made it last long).

Its time to change the shoes for my Pajero, will use the same method for the new tyers.

The cheapest thing to do is buy a small can of Asian Paints oil paint (worth Rs.15-20) and a regular small tipped painting brush. I painted my car's tyres myself. It's been more than one month now and the paint has held on really well, even after doing long distance trips in Mumbai's rains.

Then i bought Oil paint and painted it and allowed it to dry. After exposed to 4 washes, i painted a second coat. Its been there for 3 months now.
However, it starts to become dull after about 2 months

Bare in mind that the only encounter I've had with Art (Drawing/Painting) is while doing Engineering Drawing

I used Asian Paint white enamel oil paint to paint my tyres. I used only 1 coat, and then wanted to see how they hold up. The paint never peeled off. However, compared to the day they were painted, when they looked bright white, a few drives later, they had started to become dull. It has been six months now, and the color looks almost indistinguishable from the rest of the sidewall. However, the paint is very much there, as I can make out when i run my fingers over it.

Is this only because I used only one coat of paint??

Wow the tyre paint makes it one killer looking scorpio

[kamalnv]

I got Paint Marker from Camlin at a nearby Stationary store @ 55/- .. it reads as Non Fading Ink & Heat, water & light resistant .....For sure have to apply twice for full coverage.... Will try this..

Here is my Figo with letters painted

[911er]

I came across this pretty interesting video. Though expensive, I don't think there's any other option out there to get custom lettering/logos on wheels. The lettering looks fantastic and it seems it'll last a long time too.
