Question covering up raised white letter tires??

I personally do not like the way raised white letter tires look on my new 05 f-150..anybody got a suggestion other than remounting to paint over or remove the white in the letters..? I like the blackwall/aluminum rim look....

A belt sander with a 80 or 50 grit belt might work.

from tires I have seen that scraped too many curbs, the white goes into the sidewall pretty far. I dont think you can sand them away.

How long ago did you buy it? The dealer might do it for you if you ask.
