JoKer Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Soz if its been covered Search was not helpful Yeah they suck but I am not adverse to looking like a fool so I'm seeking feedback on these style of pens https://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-accessories/wheels-tyres/other/listing-1803795653.htm?rsqid=c71fe16ee4404b40a1685cf8fe95f7b5 or if there's a good reason why not to indulge in some artistry on cheap tires How permanant is it & the listing reckons 4 tires from 2x pens etc @ $2.50 a pop (or $8 if you see the advert on Instagram) they seem like 'value' for money & dang it just saw this review on the "other forum" I frequent On 10/17/2017 at 0:01 PM, JGM said: I looked into this and apparently it isn't worth it, the longevity isn't great and the pen leaves your tyres a mess if you don't continue to apply. still keen or lol's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajg193 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I saw someone used a standard yellow paint pen on tyres and it worked fine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to Bunnings and buy paint pens in whatever colors you want. Although $2.50 for 2 pens is cheap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllTorque Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I have used them. You need to make sure the tyre is super clean with no silicone or tyre shine on there. You will need to re-do it often to keep it looking good. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldrx7 Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Yep same as above - get rid of dirt/tyre shine - redo every 6 months or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a.craw4d Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Just now, tortron said: Uhhhhhhh do you know me? Cos I did the exact same Na, it's just what the cool kids did back then. Was no need to take a photo either cos anyone who cared seen it in real life, and 24 photos so save them for special occasions kind of deal. May have done a set of "Pams" tires too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
