The only tire letters that have color I’ve seen from pirelli are for like lambs and furrs I have to go the eBay route and apply my own for my Camaro so stickers is the way for me
I did my tires yesterday and I wanted to share some tips with you guys. 1. Use Tire/Rim Cleaner + Goo Gone + Pressure Washer and Sponge to Prep the tire. Don't let the Goo Gone sit too long it will crack the rubber on the sidewall. Follow up with 1000-2000 grit sandpaper to lightly scrub the parts you're painting. It'll help the paint stick. 2. PAINT THICK and EVEN COATS! Even if it takes 4-5 Coats make sure the paint is bright and thick. Approx 1.5 hours labor per tire. If the oil from the tire starts to mix with the paint marker then take a 5-10 minute break and come back. If you're right handed, paint left to right and vise versa. It will minimalize smudging. WEAR PLASTIC GLOVES. 3. USE SNEAKER WATER PROOFER SPRAY to protect the surface. Don't use clear coat. Clear coat will yellow and also has chemicals that loosen/dissolve the paint. Any brand sneaker water proofer should work. USE several coats, the tire will absorb the first few. 4. Cover the letters with masking tape if you go threw the car wash. A high pressure spray might take off the paint. Might. If you hand wash your car you will be fine. Also. Use the Miluwakee brand paint markers. Some people swear by sharpie markers but they're garbage and can't combat the tire oil. (Oil based) The paint with the Milwaukee is thick and bright + they dry in "10 sec" and they are very easy to use.
You actually get better results painting it on the car because the tire is stretched out less chance of cracking later I use a dry Brillo pad for cleaning up drips. In fact if you lettering is indented you could just fill that shit with paints and scrub away right over the top of it. It will be looking super clean when you're done.
The best way to apply tire paint is to take off the wheel and put it on an even surface. Then just paint the shit out of it and dip a tooth stick into nail polish remover to clean the outlines. takes around 30min/tire and lasts at least 6-9 months. Longer on a bike because the sidewall of the tire doesn't deform as much.
Yep ❤️ those “Bridgestone potenzas💰💰💰 “ , great quality tires , and lasted me a few good seasons ... l’m now rocking with the Michelin pilots 💰💰💰 shit , if your going to pay some hard earned cash on some quality tires , might as well make em look hard , by painting the letters ... wheels will be popping the most . But never sacrifice the function for the esthetics 👌🏼
I been wanting tire lettering for a while. Tried paint but wasnt happy with it. If i get custom lettering can i change color on same tire? I want to have dodge written in white and red dodge emblems next to it on one side of tire.
Hey, fellas: I did a combo of both stickers and paint. What I mean is that I ended up painting my tire stickers. Here's why: First off, the tire stickers just wouldn't stick! Even after scrubbing them clean with Acetone. I ended up having to re-glue the pealing edges and ended up making a complete mess of both my tires and the stickers. After clean up with acetone and the sticker cleaner that came with them--the tires and stickers still looked a hot mess. Anyway, I ended up hand painting over my stickers with the tire paint and they look much better. I then covered the now dry stickers with painters tape and cut out around the edges. Then I spray painted in between the letters with matter black automotive spray paint. When I removed the stenciling tape, I found that the stickers now look amazing! The whole process was multi-day bitch to complete, but now I'm happy. However, this is not an easy mod!
Sounds like you turned some lemons into lemonade brotha. Good shit, I’m gonna try out tire paint one last time before I get stickers. My paint began to fade so I’m going to actually get a brush this time and better paint
I just did my tires with the paint pen. 3 coats!! Have you tried to use the amor all foam tire shine? I’m just kinda skeptical of doing that and then ruining the letters.
Just friggen buy white lettering on your tires. I bet the inside of those tires probs has it haha. Usually they do. But i think yall have bigger things needing to be done then your tire lettering haha. Makes me wana make more videos about my jeep. Least its built and clean. Jeeesh i could make a whole video on my tires as well haha
Charger would look badass on some 22 inch Cavallo CLV-22 Rims!! Also use Armor All wheel shine Spray next time, you’ll get the best results on cleaner smoother tire instead of Glass cleaner it’s gonna mess it up in the long run, other than that good stuff bro!!
@@VIXREX Appreciate the response my dude. You know the name for the bit in the intro from ~0:00 - 0:07? And I'm digging the yellow headlights btw. I did it to mine sometime last year and love the look.
Dam those stickers were jacked up so bad , but with them being not on a actual stencil you’d have to be REALLY good to get them on right. No way in hell I’d pay $35 each and they don’t even come on a template , that’s just really shitty of that company
for the most part, so far so good. The only thing is the tire paint on the front wheels have begun to fade. I don't know if this is from brake dust or if i somehow didnt put the same amount of coats on the front as i did the back. nothing has happened that a couple more coats of paint cant fix. Thanks for subbing and joining the channel too by the way :)
Why the TITANIC upside down / backwards tho??? LOL. Not a good look at all, looks like somebodys 5 year old son took the safety scissors to a piece of paoer and used a glue stick to put em on!! Wow .... Im all for tire stickers but dont go cheap wit em!! #ThatUpsideDownTitanicTho
Im glad you enjoyed it, I love making em. Got my pens at the local Michael's store, bout $4.50. Link to buy em online is in the video description. Hope you stick around!
Some people are putting wheels, stickers, cold air, etc. on their a Dodge. Shouldn’t the car itself be worth a shit if you’re going to put money into it?
Use automotive rubber or plastic decal glue it won't degrade the rubber of your tires or tire lettering and it leave less visible residue than super glue! Apply a thin line down the middle off the tire decal following the contours of the lettering and then go back over it to spread the decal glue over the entirety of the back of decal using a small bristled paint brush, also wear gloves, then apply slowly to tire and use heat gun to quick dry to touch but let sit for and hour or so to adhere firmly enough to drive, fully cures in 12 hours!
Omg guys. That is NOT how you put tyre stickers on. Gosh... you’re on UA-cam but you didn’t use UA-cam to learn how to do it properly? First, clean the tyres. Second new site them out. Third, put the stickers on the clear tape. Last, use masking tackle to mount them all at once. Glue one or two at a time. Hey presto, it looks great and you don’t have them BACKWARDS DUDE!!!!
Note to self. Buy tires that have white lettering already
thats an option
They don't manufacture white letter tires after size 18... white letters is a hard find...special order. Maybe..
What’s your opinion on mine

Will tire shine ruin the paint?
Matheus Andrade ruin? no. discolor? probably
“Legend has it there still driving around with letters on one tire only”
Lmfao
hahahaha dead ass
Yeah and a letter fell off. Lost the B. Now everyone is trying to fill in the blank. Fagged Titanic????.....
That “titanic” backwards god damn 😂😂😂
The Titanic is upside down
He fixed it lol
You’re supposed to use acetone to clean the tire
💯
lmaooo that blues clues shit had me dying
Glad you enjoyed bruh. Only the OGs know about that song
Paint the tires white and leave the letters black. BOOM Just started a new trend. You're welcome.
You took it to a whole new level with that one....😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
dope, simple but effective mod. Thanks for the video gentlemen
Both results are awful..
hahahaha
Real shit. I hope i can just do this at a shop or something. This shit unnacceptable
Yeah like how lma
They need to take these weak ass cars off you tube ...ugly as hell
+Poohwe Campbell haters on UA-cam always talk smack behind a screen, you driving a Kia or Hyundai? What model? Hahah
What happened with the glued letters ? They fall off at high speed ? How are them after 1 year now ?

how many washes before you have to touch em up ?? how do they stand up to tire cleaner and a brush ??
For washes I’d say maybe after like 10 washes? The paint holds up very nicely. Never used a brush but tire cleaner had no effect
Great video, why didn't give your painted tires more air time...i thought they were clean, real nice.
Thanks man, now that I look back on it I should have for sure. They lasted a while. Hope you decide to stick around 😉

Glad you found it. We’re all pretty chill over here
I died at the Blues Clues part. 🤣
gotta show respect to the OG
Bagged Titanic should paint his brake calipers next. Just The Cherry on top to make his car look better ❄
Which one last longer
Fuking hell that looks mad, the music is sick too man, keep it up mate
What do you use to edit your video?
Any durability updates on letters after washing vs paint
Cheers
i have always liked lettered tires, but they don't make them anymore, this looks so nice. i myself like the pen better, but that is just me.
What rims are those? Love that they look so simple and classy!!! Congrats, looks awesome!
What size were the letters that your homie got?
Hey, how durable are those sticker letters.

You ever use tire shine with the paint ?
Titanic in not backwards guys , hes gonna drive in reverse going forward , this guy is a genius
The titanic is backwards
Tires letters looks bad ass on the dodge charger bro ?
Elliott Hernandez hell yes
I like to do the old school stencil and spray paint 🤷🏽♂️
I’m doing this next
Can you give instructions on how to do it with the stencils. I'd prefer that way
@@teebarr5093 How do you need instructions for that lmaooooooo. Make a stencil then use it on your tires lmfao
Are the actual tire paint pens better than the sharpies?
I haven’t tried the sharpies yet. The tire paint works just fine if the surface is smooth.

Joseph Brocato don’t use tire shine and don’t clean it, it makes it brown and yellow
After a while does it start to turning yellow
Lesson of the day: Dont be broke. Work hard and buy new porsche.

How long this paint hold up?
Wich one lasts longer?
definitely the stickers. Tire paint has never lasted more than 1 year for me
If u put tire shine will the letters get screw up
in my experience, nope. tire shine doesn't harm the paint or rubber stickers at all
Bro your tires say Desert Storm. I aint knockin "Bagged Titanic" but Desert Storm would look badass
You two are great homie! Is that a power glue? Or similar like power glue?
It is similar to super glue, but not quite.
5:16 whats the name of that song sounds awesome for some late night driving. Also the white lettering idea looks great on your subaru!

Need to tell your mate he put TITANIC on the wrong way up. He can fix that and not make the mistake when he puts on the other three.
Thanks and he fixed it right after lol
It'd be a lot easier if you jacked up the car first. The letters on the Charger are not straight, not even.
Watkins park?

do the airbags ever go out?
What are the names of artists or of the music used in the video?
I can check but one is the instrumental from lil yachtys “wanna be us”

That blues clues edit lmfao
I've used the same marker on some Goodyear tires and they got dirty so quick ima try stickers next.
Where he got the charger sticker from the windshield?
Cleaning with windex. Hilarious. Glass cleaner is great for tires.... lol
Man out his letter upside down 🤔

Bruh...that's crooked af. But I appreciate y'alls enthusiasm.
What size stickers?
This is a raw jamelty right here
This lasting good so far?
for the most part, so far so good. The only thing is the tire paint on the front wheels have begun to fade.

Hey fam what part of md you guys at trying to get a good car community of good people 💯💪🏾
