    Toyota Incorporated Thats a good question. I think the oil based paint will be fine but the acrylic pair won't like the tire shine. I haven't tried it yet but now that you mentioned it, I'm going to try it. the worst that could happen would be yellowing of the white letters

    Our paint pens will work great, we'd suggest you give them a try so you don't get the smudging you experienced with this install. When these discolor after 1-2 weeks, you can upgrade to our permanent product that will last the lifetime. Save yourself the time of re-applying paint pens and pick up our rubber tire lettering!

    Lmaooo for $100+ yall are tripping tripping. $10-15 worth of paint markers will last an entire set of tires life. And you can do it everytime you wash the car. If you really love your car then it's not even a chore and actually get satisfaction from doing it.

    Gavin Cates the paint flaked off almost immediately after it dried for me. That was only if I could paint the surface at all. But I think it has more to do with my skills in painting the lettering than the paint itself. I'm going to give it another shot and see if I can make it stick this time.

    Gavin Cates I bought 3 white oil based pens but ended up only using 1 and about a quarter of the other one. The first one I used still had juice in it but I decided to switch because it was running low. I only bought one of the orange acrylic pens and I still had left over paint.

    it's been on almost a month now and the lettering I did with the sharpie is still holding up. The acrylic paint lettering isnt holding up well tbh. Sharpie paint is cracking but that most likely has to do with the fact that I did not paint the lettering while they were mounted on the car. There is also the fact that the tires were brand new and may have some of that mold resin on it trying to come off. I will be doing an update video about it soon
