Painting raised lettering on tires?

[retro89]

I tried using acrylic paint on a tooth pick to paint the raised letters but did not turn out that great. How does everyone paint raised lettering on their tires?

The commonly accepted prefered method is to use a white gel pen. Gelly Roll seems to be the brand everyone uses.

Hi the best way I think to paint raised lettering is to put a thin coat of paint on a flat surface like glass or cardboard and place the tire on the paint .Then press lightly on the tire.It takes a bit of practise but it works great.I use acrylic white paint and then paint a coat of future over the letters on tire.Hope that helps.
