[Q.] How to paint yellow logo on tires?

[AAlmeida]

Here is the situation, I am trying to paint a DUNLOP yellow logo on tires using a PE stencil, but the color is almost invisible on the black rubber tires. What can I do?
Thank you in advance.

The way I did mine was to shoot white primer prior to paint, and make sure you handle the tires very carefully afterwards. Good luck.

I thought to paint white first then yellow but I am afraid not paint right on spot and some white show up. Do you have any picture from yours? Thank you.

You could always hold the stencil down with masking tape before spraying. Or, if there is any overspray, you can dip a fine brush into the correct thinner, and 'wash' away any white that might show up, leaving the yellow in place.

I will try with gray primer first, I don't want the bright new yellow I prefer the old distressed yellow paint looking. Thank you.

Done, no primer needed, just tons of layers.


Thank you all.
