Any "tips" on how to stencil drag tires?
 

Have a set of M&amp;H Racemaster Muscle Car Drag Tires on the way for my street cruiser, and would like to &quot;letter em up&quot; for that race car look. Was thinking about having them mounted first, and then tape-off the letters and spray or maybe spray and then use lacquer thinner for cleanup of overspray? Which method would be more correct?

And would you spray just the large <span style="font-weight: bold"> </span> M&amp;H <span style="font-weight: bold"> </span> or the smaller racemaster letters as well?

Kent, I need to do this too. If you find a product and/or paint, please let me know.

Thanks,

I have not had any experience with this product, but it looks like something that should work: http://www.rangerpaint.com/

You are going to want a material that has a rubber base as it will need to be flexible. Duplicolor has some pens out as well.

I have a set oh M&amp;H on my nostalgia car (in avatar, but that's how it looked in 1969) and I use the paint sticks. I do the big letters and the small letters. It isn't that hard to do, but clean the tire real good before you apply the paint. I use the medium point for the big letters and a finer point for the small ones. I usually touch them up now and then, but the paint has stayed on and looks good. I'm not good at posting pics, but I know there are current pics of my car on several sites.

The factory for Goodyear and M&amp;H made a template and applied with a spray gun,if you plan on using a paint stick or a brush it just doesn't look the same.
