Tire decals

Ok, so I'm building a Fujimi kit of a racecar, which runs Advans, and the tires are marked as such on the 1:1. However, being an old Fujimi kit, it doesn't have any nice tire markings included like the Tamiya kits. So, does anyone make any Yokohama/Advan tire markings?

I have three other options:

1. Changing all the markings on the car from Advan to Bridgestone and using some tire decals from an old kit.
2. Finding some dry transfers of single letters and peicing it all together.
3. Printing a template onto cardstock, carefully cutting it out, and spraying some white acryl through the template on the tire and praying.

Help please!

Re: Tire decals

Option 3 sounds like it is worth a try.

Re: Tire decals

Option 3 combined with the home PE'ing set from Micromark is another great plan
