[@bishop5537]

looks alright, but you should practice before doing your tire. maybe a coloring book?

[@dverdin55]

bishop5537 lmao! I can't be mad at this comment

[@christophercanlas7614]

LOL

[@MultiCougar66]

maybe YOU need to practice

[@Norrr3]

[@jacobmaland8028]

Fuck that, send it!

[@Ihaveseenthings577]

The last part is the most important....Time and Patient... 👽👍

[@HighBeams]

Dope video, very detailed!

[@dverdin55]

Thank you!

[@Cylisar]

That is a very insightful video. Thank You! It made me realize that I do not have time for that whis is acctually a lot!

[@im.weasel]

How does this hold up over time. Like from car washes and stuff?

[@stevenforston1253]

Job well done!!!! Thks for the info 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[@sirtalis69]

After painting the letters, do you think it would also be a good idea to use a sealant?

[@walterkersting1362]

Does the red and white combine at speed and make pink? Looks cool at rest.

[@nesco7615]

It’s not bad bro. That’s cool. Looks nice. Would like to see it on the car thou

[@Tirestickers]

Our paint pens will work great, we'd suggest you give them a try so you don't get the smudging you experienced with this install. When these discolor after 1-2 weeks, you can upgrade to our permanent product that will last the lifetime. Save yourself the time of re-applying paint pens and pick up our rubber tire lettering!

[@Norrr3]

Tire Stickers will do

[@ChiroTheHero]

Lmaooo for $100+ yall are tripping tripping. $10-15 worth of paint markers will last an entire set of tires life. And you can do it everytime you wash the car. If you really love your car then it's not even a chore and actually get satisfaction from doing it.

[@Meowster89]

@@ChiroTheHero Agreed

[@kyfisher3662]

Are tyrecleaning products and brushes and tyreshine gona rub it off?

[@gldflcn]

Nice video! What’s your take on using sandpaper vs Acetone for the degreasing part?

[@alexneil9116]

that looks awesome.

[@coryharder191]

Thanks man, appreciate the tips/tricks

[@jajajdjdjdj6434]

Oh yeh baby

[@Brian.mp4]

how are the letters holding up? does the white fade or discolor fairly quickly?

[@dverdin55]

BrianTakesPhotos the Sharpie colored lettering is holding up ok. The acrylic painted letters are not as bright as they used to be. I'll be doing a video on it soon

[@kennethjackson3727]

awesome man

[@harley8728]

Nice they look good

[@dverdin55]

Thank you!

[@Djsatile]

Best one u need more subscription

[@williamsandler1363]

How does it hold up over time?

[@wadewade8521]

Curious why acrylic for some parts and oil for others...the tire is the same material everywhere

[@dverdin55]

wade wade the orange I was using only came in acrylic and not oil based. That and the acrylic spread easier on the grooved hankook logo for some reason

[@samerfarhan5364]

Thank you for the video

[@cibinbenny]

Will that last long after couple weeks will it fade off ??

[@gaudentiusgrishnackh322]

How many coats u use to it look so solid like this

[@greg0716]

Use 600 grit sandpaper for those edges

[@juarez3241]

After car wash will the paint still stick?

[@amanfromalternativeunivers8329]

how much pens do you think we need ??

[@gearheadmoff1232]

Would adhesive promoter work as a durable agent to the paint..

[@BertrandBarraud]

So did it last ?

[@waynezarcone2016]

Can I paint the tires b4 they go on rimz!! "Or should I paint them after on the rimz

[@jajajdjdjdj6434]

Oh yeh baby

[@gavincates5979]

Why can't you use the oil-based marker on the lettering with the lines in them?

[@dverdin55]

Gavin Cates the paint flaked off almost immediately after it dried for me. That was only if I could paint the surface at all. But I think it has more to do with my skills in painting the lettering than the paint itself. I'm going to give it another shot and see if I can make it stick this time.

[@gavincates5979]

sir_dannyv sweet, thank you for your help, I just wanted to make sure before I try it myself so it doesn't look bad when I do it. I'll make sure to buy both kinds of markers

[@dverdin55]

Gavin Cates no problem! Make sure the tires are extremely clean and dry before you start and you should be good 👍🏽

[@gavincates5979]

sir_dannyv one more thing, how many markers did you have to use for all 4 tires?

[@dverdin55]

Gavin Cates I bought 3 white oil based pens but ended up only using 1 and about a quarter of the other one. The first one I used still had juice in it but I decided to switch because it was running low. I only bought one of the orange acrylic pens and I still had left over paint.

[@shivabhardwaj8455]

is this the same as correction markers??? I wonder if I can use them instead of these markers.

[@dverdin55]

Shiva Bhardwaj Thats a good question. I'm not sure if correction markers are oil based or acrylic

[@Darkthot]

Badass, I'm doing this to my tires.

[@jajajdjdjdj6434]

Oh yeh baby

[@asherlevtan9798]

i have a corolla 2016 le and i would like to do these to my tires.what do you think? you i t would look good or people will just laugh at me?

[@dverdin55]

Asherlev Tan who cares what people think? If you want to do this on your car I say go for it. if you don't like it you can always take the lettering off

[@Bacardibombillo]

How many tires can you do with one pen?

[@elliotthernandez6292]

I like the white Sharpe is better

[@dverdin55]

Elliott Hernandez I agree 👍🏽

[@ownagemods]

will be able to use tire shine after everything is done?

[@dverdin55]

Toyota Incorporated Thats a good question. I think the oil based paint will be fine but the acrylic pair won't like the tire shine. I haven't tried it yet but now that you mentioned it, I'm going to try it. the worst that could happen would be yellowing of the white letters

[@gavincates5979]

What types of tips did the markers have?

[@dverdin55]

Gavin Cates they were round tips iirc

[@Bacardibombillo]

Whats the best brand with the most liquid.?

[@dverdin55]

Jerry Cruz I used the sharpie pen. It is good enough to handle all 4 tires depending pin the amount of coats you use. I'm not sure if there are pens with bigger capacity

[@ghost868]

Don't use the pens I did it and it doesn't hold up I will be trying a tire paint call one shot with brushes everything that I read about it has been good feed back avoid pens at all cost but nice job on the video bro

[@ninjagaming2036]

So if i do this what if i go to wash my tires will it come off?

[@dverdin55]

Ninja Gaming the paint is pretty durable. It won't come off unless you're really trying to get it off or if you don't put it on right. I did a follow up video to this addressing your concerns as well

[@ninjagaming2036]

Okay sweet thanks man

[@firehousex3]

What a sloppy job...why not just have patience and do a good job to begin with?

[@krupt79]

How did it last??

[@josiahjalowiec4203]

Not as long as it takes to answer your comment.

[@风神-b4e]

Where I can buy that pen?

[@dverdin55]

yushan Chen staples and mostly all office supply stores have the white ones. Arts and crafts stores have acrylic and oil based paint pens.

[@thatredneckboy]

how long does this last before fading etc?

[@dverdin55]

it's been on almost a month now and the lettering I did with the sharpie is still holding up. The acrylic paint lettering isnt holding up well tbh. Sharpie paint is cracking but that most likely has to do with the fact that I did not paint the lettering while they were mounted on the car. There is also the fact that the tires were brand new and may have some of that mold resin on it trying to come off. I will be doing an update video about it soon

[@kronk358]

Longevity update?

[@dverdin55]

Honestly, I wouldn't do it again. It doesn't last long. It cracks if you lay on the paint too thick and fades if you put too light of a coat. Tire stickers would be the way to go if you want lettering

[@bullockwagon5994]

Why not keep in the lines like a 6 year old, instead of taking time to scratch off the extra paint... 🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@dverdin55]

Bullock Wagon why not show you what to do in case you mess up...? 🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@bullockwagon5994]

Yeah good point. Sorry if my comment was a bit douchy lol. Good instructional video!

[@muhammadawisabdshahadan1117]

Hahaha,macam-macam kerja kan?..jika basuh dan terkena sabun warna itu tertanggal atau kekal?..jika tertanggal maka kerja sia-sia membuang masa,jika tidak bagusla menampakkan kelainan mengikut kreativiti hak tersendiri@masing²...Hahaha:-)

[@wesrobson5176]

why don't u just color inside the lines in the first place PUTZ!!!

[@elliotthernandez6292]

Do you have Instagram?

[@firehousex3]

Why not lay all the tires down so they don't move...

[@richardgladue9854]

Anyone doing this. Dedicate a weekend.

[@tonysevere7353]

CHECK OUT MY FACE BOOK TONY SEVERE ........... NO PAINT NO MESS

[@mikesecondo2254]

Paint pens overpriced!! Use small brush and exterior paint.liquid flex seal and brush..works best!!! Been doing it for years!! RWL tires are hard to come by!!paint pens fade,crack

[@Giova2774]

Bad Job....

[@dverdin55]

Ehhh... could be worse lol

[@charleshearrold6184]

how long does it last?

[@dverdin55]

I made a video about the durability of the paint here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hnyoe6SPichohbM As far as length of durability is concerned, I'm not 100% sure. However, the paint is still holding up on my tires since I made this video.
