Raised Letter Restoration
The raised white letters are badly faded on my B.F. Goodrich Radial T/A's. They are beyond using Westley's Bleach White. Is there a paint I can use or a white marker? Perhaps White Out? What will last and stay white? Thanks in advance.

Good question. Lvrpool had a set of 17 inch tires on his car that had the letters painted white. Maybe he will chime in on the paint he used.

I bought lvrpool32s wheels and tires. Here is a quote from another post on the white letters.
Gordon bought my TTII's off of me and I let him try them with the tires to check for clearance issues.
A company called Moose make a great white tire pen, takes two coats....sticks really well as long as you clean properly (I used simple green).
Just takes a little time and a little patience.

Sanding works great as long as the letters are still there. I wouldn't recommend sanding everytime you wash the car, but once or twice a year should be fine.
