Have heard you can use white Plastidip spray too. Apparently, it stays on for years.

I have a Roland vinyl cutter at work so when the time comes, I will design and cut a template complete with distress marks to afford that worn look.

How much was it to buy the set of Avons?

Default Avons

I used the Tred letters. I tried Plasticdip spray and it stayed on about 2 short drives even though I prepped the tires with mineral spirits and cleaning pads. I got my Avons packaged with my wheel purchase from Vintage.

The GT 40 is beautiful!

I paid £1,200 (around $1,900) fitted and balanced, but I'm a little closer to where they're made.
That was from a company called BMTR in Birmingham, UK. I don't know how much it would be to ship a set to you.

I don't care how good a tire is. $2350 for avons is a joke. Or for any tire for that matter.

Hey Pete,
I got quoted between 15 and 18 grand to paint my FIA here in Oz.
That is a joke.
