Not Ranked
Update:
So I have done some more digging on this project and have been collecting samples of rubber I can use. I think I finally found a rubber sample that may work. I'm waiting on a punch so I can make the 7/8 circles I need. I have a can of white and blue ranger tire paint. I need to experiment with cutting the blue with the white because I know the "blue" was more a greenish blue or a lighter blue. It was not dark blue for sure. I'm going to go as close as possible on the color with out getting nuts.
The plan is you punch out with a paper punch a 7/8 circle using frog masking tape to use as a temple or barrier on the tire so the glue does not get all over. This will expose only the 7/8 tire rubber. I will glue that area. Glue the back of the "dot" then stick them together with hopefully little to no overspill of glue.
Once I get the punch I'm going to cut a piece out and glue it on one of my daily drivers in the rear and run that for a week of so to see if it peels, etc.
Thats all for now folks...again any suggestions I am open to.
