    Ok, I could be smokin my socks on this but I remember buying and using "grease paint" :Do No: sticks to touch up the raised white letters on my tires. I haven't seen/used these in 24 or 25 years but does anyone else remember these? Know where I can get them? :Do No:

    I just bought some the other day you can buy it at Canadian Tire :Brow: I don't think you will find to many Canadian Tire stores in the states so
    I'll check on the name of the stuff when I get home, I'm at work right now

    product name TIRE LETTERMATE T1920 White
    company TRIMBRITE
    made USA


    You should be able to buy it at any of your auto stores. Before I was injuried I worked for 16 years in the plastic extrusion bussiness and at one time work for a company that made body side moulding, door edge gaurd, etc. here in Canada called Spartan Plastics, our parent company was located in Holt Michigan
    they made the pin stiping and other auto products. Our product line Trimbrite, so if all else fails someone in Michigan should be able to help you out.

    Many years ago I always used some white finger nail polish. The new stuff has more plastic in it for flex so last longer and it's cheap :)

    you guys are the best...good work arounds and a company name...everyone I've asked has just looked at me like I was from another planet...and these were guys in tire stores and auto parts stores.

    Just in case you were wondering....I want to do the raised black letters on my BFG drag radial's so they match the radial TA's RWL on the front

    Thanks!:beer
