Tyre Paint

[Narcoda]

I have just got my Metzeler Tourance's via a good company in Germany- I love new tyres and seeing as I have to wait a few days to fit them I have decided to use tyre paint to fill in the METZELER TOURANCE lettering- which I think looks good, but the paint I am using is in an aluminium pen (like a touch-up pen)- made by YAMAYO... but one pen that costs £5 only does one side- meaning it will cost me £20 to paint em all in... does anyone know of a cheaper tyre paint that is robust and comes in greater amounts at a better price? Is tyre paint not cool?- tyre paint feedback appreciated

Don't do it

white paint on the tyres......

save time and money and just don't bother.

There's a good chance it will come of when they are being fitted. Don't bother.

If you really must then MandP.com do tyrepaint pens in white, red, blue, green, yellow, gold and silver for £3.49 a pop. They also do a tin of gloss black tyre paint if you want to go the whole hog. Take my advice - don't bother. It's so last season

Indeed, tyre paint IS NOT cool.

I have a feeling this won't be a problem (I mean his problem)

Wow! My tires came in this color as standard! (incidentally the rest of the bike too)

After all that hard work, pain stakingly painting the letters in one my metzelers- it all cracked off once the tyre had been fitted and inflated- looks erm...great now
