Dennis,
What ended up working for me was to power wash the tires to get the paint off. Just make sure you use the right type of spray tip and watch the pressure. Then I used a drafting eraser to erase the remaining overspray that was outside of the raised lettering to have a clean cutoff. Didn't worry about what was left on the inside of letters. You will find some erasers hold up better then others because of their strength, etc ..... Don't be surprised that you will eat up a few in the process. Lastly, I bought white fabric pencils (a bunch of them) from Michael's Craft store. Had the tire up on the kitchen table to work comfortably. The first time it took about three coats to get a solid look. This year I pulled the tires off and put on one coat to brighten the white letters, which had yellowed slightly and fix other damaged spots. While the tires were out of the way, I bleed the brakes and flushed out the system by adding new brake fluid to the reservoir and pumped the stuff through the lines. Also wiped everything off and re-applied the anti-seize on the hubs, etc…. I figure if I pull the tires off each year that should keep me from having an issue down the road from not being able to get the tires off because they are stuck from corrosion. You should plan to spend plenty of time the first go a round. The second year was pretty easy. Let me know if you have any questions. Good luck! Mark |
Once a year?
Any good racer should go thru at least 3 sets on a weekend!!!!!! And of course complete brake service every outing with the car Jerry |
