Stenciling Billboards

[Fast289]

Hobby Lobby. There two type's of pencils. One is a pencil the other is a marker. Get the marker, you shake it and then dab it to get the white to come out. I don't have one here but if I find the name I will post it.

Just curious after reading the posts. When you are using a white marker, are you trying to color in a black lettered tire to make white letters, in which case the tred-wear.com link looks good, or do you have white letters and are trying to make them more permanent / brighter white? If coloring already white letters, aren't painted letters going to get dirty and need scrubbing after driving a while?
I'd like to find something that keeps white letters white so I can avoid having to clean them.

You can't. Brake dust and road grime will always win. Forget bright white after the first drive. Plus they always look better with a bit of off-white / tan.
I'll say it again. Ranger tire paint. Remove the G'year paint (which will be tan by now) with lacquer thinner. Thin the paint 20% with water or Windex.
Apply in letters. Clean rough edges with Lacquer thinner or pick off with blade.
If you're too lazy to do it right, then just leave them.

I tried the stencils with little success, just didn't turn out the way I wanted. I went to TredWear and ordered a set of the Goodyear letters. Took some time to install but I am very happy with the result. I did scrub a curb last year and it did damage the letters. I was able to remove the damaged letters and replace them with new. I would recommend the product. If I knew how to attached a pix I would do so....
