Did the exact same thing (except cutting the pen) to my 33” Nitto mud terrain tires. Looked great until I had them mounted on my wheels and the air pressure caused the ink to crack. Lasted a good 2 weeks.
Nice job bruv. those turned out sweet!! Ive gone through the same learning curve over the last few years and 2 sets of Defenders with my Jeep Willys. It wasn't easy it was frustrating but after about a hundred bucks ( Canadian) and a few restarts i have found the same technique. The razor blade is a perfect eraser eh!!. I didn't do the acetone so once they wear out i have a new trich to try. My paint pens are made by Forney industries and are acrylic too, so ive gotten a bottle of acrylic clear nail polish from my girlfriend and a going to add a coat or 2 of it in a matte finish. I find it just awesome to see someone so far away coming to the same result. Smash the pen use the 2nd as the brush. Good on ya eh. Now "Ya goin out for a RIP are ya Bud! Lol ( hilarious Canadian music video check it out if you haven yet). I love the Landy too.😊
Can anyone here comment on what type of paint is best for rubber tires? I imagine buying a pint of paint at the store is better than using what comes in these pens. I just don't know what type of paint is best. Thx
Id say something oil based and exterior. Oil base sticks to about everything. Even spray paint you could spray into a container and use a tiny brush with it. Theres also marine paint. Some other options are kilz oil base primer, maybe rustoleum oil base if they have white. One or all of these would surely work as long as you clean the surface well beforehand. It may take 2, 3 coats depending what u use.
@0ptimal really appreciate your input! I did end up picking up some of the oil based sharpie paint markers. Haven't used them yet. Looking forward to giving them a try. I realize I will be needing to touch these up often, but that's unfortunately part of this tire paint process.
TAUTFLEX paint is sold in 500ml or even 50ml bottles and is a polyurethane vinyl mix used on truck tarps and logos on mudflaps. Very durable and long lasting and comes in heaps of colors.
Look up tyre lettering pen, there's a few makes for tyres but white craft paint pens also do the job as long as its paint based it won't crack on rubber, ive bought white paint pens from Amazon that do the job better than 'tyre lettering pens'
Correct white tyre lettering paint lasts forever once painted on, but slight less bright after 6 mths, so i do my tyres twice a year to keep lettering bright like new, doesn't take long to repaint
There's a reason why you do layers. This is a good video for doing it faster, but not if you want it to last. Patience is a virtue
Lettering clean; spray white paint( or other color)lightly on flat sponge and dab on letters; works just fine!
Finally somone who is good at this. Thx for learning me. This is a very nice and smart method.

How much time they lasted?
How do your tyres look now mate, has the paint peeled off??
Won’t acetone eat through the tire, like it does to everything else?!
You just fixed my streaky c;(p job 😂👍👊
If you are going to pull a paint pen apart, you may as well just buy a 500ml tin of white paint, and a fine paintbrush.
Regular can of paint? Oil based water based?
Thank you! great idea
Great job
Great video
Nice landy!
How many pen do I need to use on all four tires?
100 pens
your eyes look sick man
thanks man
LOOKS UNBELIEVABLE! Great job. 4 tires x 2 passes = how many hours?? Yikes.
thats exactly how i do it too
How you find out bro? after putting a 35" tire 😂 nice to be driven ? or feel heavy
Honestly they feel amazing compared to my old 31s, smooth out all the bumps on the road and makes off roading feel like you’re cheating ahaha
put clear coat over the letters after you paint trust me
Respect

A lot of videos are recommending Sharpie brand oil based paint pens. Cheap and effective.
How long it lasts?

@@Yumbutteredsausage did he use regular can of paint? Oil based water based?
@@Yumbutteredsausage… can you still apply tyre shine spray after painting the letters ?
done good but
Those over priced pens suck!!! Use a brush and exterior paint!!much better results...been doing it for years!! Seeing as you can't get RWL tires!!!!
What sort of exterior paint?
Back in school dayz my mate used to use Tipex on his motorbike!
Won’t last 😂
That crap won't last 3 months
Viscosity is HIGH. Right the first time. :)
