Tire Side Markings

[rickerzipper]

Hey Guys,

What type of pen/pencil/whatever do you use to write "LF" (left front), "RR" (right rear), etc. markings on 1/24 scale race car tires?

Thanks in advance,

Rick

PS I did a search and looked in tutorial, no info found.

Thin brush and enamel paint.

Thanks DasWiesel. Can anyone else suggest other methods?

Thanks,

Rick

Ive heard of using a gel pen to do it.

Once piece of advice I coudl give. If the tires are vinyl, then stay as far away from Enamel paints as you can get, as the enamel will react w/ the vinyl and the paint will never dry completely.
