I'll try that and post the results.

woah.. like this also can.. cant believe you can think of it..

 

 

you can try to use sliver markers to be base before painting colours like red,orange or yellow.. dun use white as base as white paint is thicker and harder to work with.. sliver is easier..

 

Hmm... mebbe this SMSA Round 2 races at PG (20 June) I shall try this out. Will be using Michelin supermoto slicks so not much paint needed.

please do, i looking forward to the results of both methods for painting. lol.

 

soon we will see alot of bikes with painted grooves.

Operation: Art Deco unfortunately failed to reach the Bras Basah Art Friends outlet in time this evening. They close at 6pm on weekends, 7.30pm weekdays.

 

Branch at Taka didn't have the Sakura luminous markers in stock so I got some standard white, red and metallic gold to try on decorating the sides of tyres. The red looks pretty good despite the lack of luminosity but I stuck to white for my Lasertec.

 

As for the grooves themselves it's quite a chore to mark out every single one of them - tried on a CBR150's Dunlop front tyre. Definitely a task for dexterity and painting skill!

 

Hope someone else can hit Bras Basah in the coming week and get the proper markers!

i tried some red paint marker at my tyre's small groove..

looks good.. maybe go continue for the whole wheel..

 

see if can post some pics later.. haha..

[master_raven]

lols.. nice lei =) require alot of time and effort to maintain the paint on the groove.. my offcie got many marker maybe got time go try it out

[Kingsp]

yeah put some pics ya.. let me see. if nice i also go do.. hahahaha

[spark315]

my advice would to get touch up pant from diy shop. it lasts longer and more choices on colour but the grooves must be clean of dirt and oil.... enjoy painting guys ..... will take u all day to finish if u are using tires with loads of grooves.....

[Pandoras Kitten 3]

Normal paint marker - can get from popular, hardware stores, art supply stores.

 

Will try to hunt for the luminous ones next weekend at Bras Basah.

 

Oh, yes the paint markers are pretty good. My white letters are still white despite sun, rain, etc.

 

The stuff I wrote/drew on the windscreen are still there despite mild acid used to wash my windscreen from strange white deposits from a rain-x imitation.

which brand did you use? hehe i also wanna paint my tyre sidewall wording like yours

[Pandoras Kitten 3]

Oh not sure of the brand but it's generic type you can get from anywhere. Haven't hit the Bras Basah art shop for the luminous ones, as the white is nice enough. Don't want to overdo the effect.

 

The paint is only slightly faded after weeks of riding in rain and shine, 5 mins of touch up and it's good as new!

[at0m87]

went to art friend. the only luminous colour they have are luminous paint. no luminous markers that are permanent. i've got the paint and tried painted the whole bike. pictures as attached.

 

it didnt lasted even one ride and all started peeling off because the rubber started expanding. it is good for show room purpose but definitely not riding. besides after colouring both tyres, my bike look very "ah beng"..

 

anyway i did some research on tyres; its not good to apply paint on it according to the tyre manufacturer's website, even on the tyre wall as it will affect the rubber - but i have been painting the tyre walls for ages since i got my first wheel.

 

dont think i will be colouring the wheel anymore because firstly the outcome looks very "ah beng" and secondly i dont want to spoil my rubber; its what separate me from the road surface.

[Pandoras Kitten 3]

Congratulations, you have Singapore's first Stormbringer motorcycle Good work. Not beng to me, matches your black very well lol.

 

Well, maybe a goth/ punk ah beng LOL

 

Any leftovers of that paint? Can sell to me lol.

[niteblade]

anyone seen the soft99 marker specially for painting tyres at any shops?
