I just purchased a set of big letter 'Cobra Tires' from Shelby & have yet to figure out a good way to keep the paint white. It turned brown within two weeks, and I tried to cut my own stencil. Good luck. It's one thing to paint from a stencil on a flat surface, but on the raised, curved surface of a tire, I found it impossible. I contacted a stencil company, but have yet to follow up on it. So far, I've re-done the paint by hand (with a brush,) twice (three times this weekend,) but the rubber just eats the paint. The tires look great when freshly painted - but this has become a time consuming pain in the butt.
If you figure something out, PLEASE post the results.
