LordSQra Posted April 27, 2014 Posted April 27, 2014 Hi What you think about tyre paint pen, is it lame or cool ? Has anyone used it ? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PERMANENT-WATERPROOF-CAR-TYRE-TIRE-METAL-PAINT-PEN-MARKER-ALL-COLORS-BRAND-NEW-/400585374864?pt=UK_Crafts_DrawingSupplies_EH&var=&hash=item5d44bfbc90 Quote
oVerboost Posted April 27, 2014 Posted April 27, 2014 On the right car it can look okay, but not a zed IMO. Rat look old cars etc pull it off, the zeds shape is too modern. Quote
Desey Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 not on a Zed unless you have a dirty amount of race mods Quote
Briggsybriggs1 Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 I was thinking about getting one but it only works on a car with low profile tyres I think and with a good brand as well ,,,cool if you ask me I'm going to buy one just to show yul how cool they are now :-) Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote
StevoD Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 Yes it can look awesome, needs some supporting body mods to pull it off tho i cant find the image with the 350z with white text so these will do looks awesome, Can tell the OEM heads and painted battery cover brigade will hate these 3 Quote
Sam Mcgoo Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 I've been tempted for quite a while to do this as I think it could look really cool in the right car..... Not sure mines the right car though.. Lol. I think it'd really suit my wheels, but maybe not the car. The other thing is it will depend on the tyre as well. Bridgestone will look cool, toyo etc, but my recent addition of mpss I don't think it would work so well. FYI I've also read that a tile grout pen actually lasts longer than the paint pens. Quote
14N Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 ....painted battery cover brigade will hate these I've been labelled! Not a fan of it myself. I remember painstakingly painting the 'Diablo Corsa' on my motorbike tyres in the early 90's. But I guess on the right car it could look ok. Quote

coldel Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 I have to admit I have had a thought once or twice how this would look on my white Skyline! Not my car but might work? Quote
cmck13 Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 Someone tried It on here about 3 to 4 year ago (lucky if you find it), the general consensus was it didn't work on the Z especially due to style etc and because it wears and doesn't bind too well on rubber. Quote
iLott Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 I think it looks good just haven't gathered the courage to try it out yet 4 Quote
coldel Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 Looks stunning on the first pic, not so sure on the second 1 Quote
rabbitstew Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 I use these on my motorbikes, look pretty cool on them, but on cars its very much 1970`s.... I think on 4x4s you can pull it off, but not on sports cars. The other thing is that they do look good for a few weeks, then the white quickly fades and looks more grey so you have to redo them all. After a while you end up with thick paint on the letters which looks a bit bad. Most car accessory shops sell em, so you dont have to get them off the bay. Quote
LordSQra Posted April 28, 2014 Author Posted April 28, 2014 (edited) I've still got my old tyres in garage ( free to collect if someone interested ) might try to paint them and see how it looks its just 99p for a pen and it does not have to be only white, yellow looks good or red...cmcsk13 yeah but it was 3-4 years ago, pens my have been improved since that time, I mean ink Edited April 28, 2014 by Damiiian Quote
StevoD Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 think it comes down to the tyre itself and the size of the sidewall as that would i think change the size of the lettering Quote
cs2000 Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 (edited) Must say, those Kuro black ones with yellow lettering look pretty Edited April 29, 2014 by cs2000 Quote
LordSQra Posted April 29, 2014 Author Posted April 29, 2014 Must say, those Kuro black ones with yellow lettering look pretty They do, don't they I ordered a couple of yellow pens from ebay 99p each, in my local shop 4 quid for one and they've got only white Quote
coldel Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 Stick it on and show photos week by week - would love to see if this works as I think it would look good on my Falkens on my R33! Quote
brillomaster Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 once we finally get some decent matching tyres on our track BMW, I might well go for some tyre paint. why? because racecar, that's why. wouldn't do it on my 350z roadcar though. Quote
Spatt Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 Not read all but I did this on my pug.. toyo tyres. Warning tho. They dont like tyre shine Quote
