Thanks for the picture help Jeff. Posting pics still is apparently way over my head. Delbert, the lettering on the tires is a decal. I put a little Micro Sol on the tire then place the decal. The Micro Sol helps if form to the tire. When it dries I brush on a little dull cote. The decal is from a "Goodie" Sheet that has tire lettering, instument panel gauges, oil filter decals, vent screens, about anything extra you need to do a race car.
