Talking Small Detals making a difference

There was a tread about White letter tires before and forgot to add this.....If you love Your whites out heres a tip after a while those white letters begin to fade and look old so I took a testors acrylic paint makers white of course and Ill tell you it took 2 coats going over the leters but what a difference it made it looks cool now brought those letters back to life now I can see them from across the parking lot. Its boring work but if your like me these small detals make or break the look of your rig or could be the small thing that sets your truck off...I have a friend at work which has a 2001 xlt expy w/o white letters and Im proud to say mine looks way better the differences are mines a 99 EB 4X4 with whites out and hers is a 2001 Xlt no EB and no 4X4 but both white and same rim/tire size. That extra trim different stance and differ wheel/tire and whites out make mine look so much better...moral of the story is a bunch and small detals can make your truck stand out or blend into the crowd as another Expy.

My favorite trick for white letter tires is to use a common cleanser like Comet and a scrub brush. It will take the dingiest letters and make them sparkle!

Most white letters are "white" all the way through. Hence you can scrape them with a knife blade to wear off some of the grime.
