Silver-Can 402 Posted October 1, 2020 Like this? If so, i used a 'gelly roll' paint pen. Far from perfect, but I'm half blind and impatient 😁🤪 They're on ebay - I paid about 7 quid for 3. Come in different colours and different nib thicknesses. I went with medium (0.8mm I think). I think most people use the gelly roll pens - either that or a tooth pick and some white paint. I tried that method once...never again 🤪😤😁 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Silver-Can 402 Posted October 1, 2020 45 minutes ago, Mrowka said: How long does that paint last? Difficult to say really. I did them about 2 weeks ago and only just ran it today. It spent about 30 mins on the beach, which will obviously increase the wear due to the sand blasting it off. I reckon somewhere between 10/20 runs before it needs redoing. But I guess it depends how 'pristine' you want them. I can live with a bit of fading before I do them again. I probably only spend about 5 mins per tyre. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You might get away with it on that front tyre, but you are unlikely to with the rears. A cotton bud dipped in Tamiya thinners will allow you to quickly clean off the paint from a letter if you aren't happy with it, likewise a cocktail stick dipped in same thinners can be used to clean up the edge of a letter.
