Default Tire paint mod

Ok, So just like many of you out there, I'm always looking for something "new" to do to my Crossfire to set it apart from the rest...here's a mod I like...look at picture below.

I decided to accent the tires by painting some of the raised letters yellow. Tried a few different paints and none seem to stick to the rubber very well. The best fit I could find is Testors model paint. It will eventually chip off, but will last longer than anything I have found yet. Suggestions always welcome. You can buy it at Wal-Mart in the toy model section for 99 cents a bottle. Get a small brush too while your there and paint it on...be precise!!! Red looks good too.

I remember a company called Folia Tec that used to make an Iron on foil for this, but cannot seem to find the product anymore...anyone have any luck?

Have fun with this mod!!!
