Tire Lettering

Post by Jimmy »

This is what I use to letter tires and other things that may need white touchup. I found a box of them online that had several sizes: 1.0, 0.8, 0.6.

I prefer to use stencils and spray the logos but this looks like it might be very useful for the team applied markings (LF, LR, set #, car #, etc). Painting them using a brush is a pain.

Hi There

I have a massive set of waterslide decals for this, covering many options which will be available very shortly.

The sheet will be available in a variety of different colours and scales, (1:12, 1:20 and 1:24). There will also be a "diet" version available which will have a very limited selection to cover 1 build, for the budget conscious.
