Blimey, that looks the nuts, very tempted, wonder if it will sit well on an exotica red? Where do you get tyre paint from, not sure my hand is steady enough to hand paint though!lol

I definately think a stencil should be the order of the day if your gonna go for names, logos, etc. It will make life a hell of a lot easier and it should work first time.

Think it only looks good if you have a good set of tyres on the car! You'd look daft if you painted LINGLONG tyres
