White Letter touch-up paint/pens- any good?

[UncleS2]

The near-new tires on the Dakota had one flaw when I bought it- the left front must have skinned a curb, part of the white lettering is gone. Still has nice sharp-edged raised letters on the sidewall- just little or no white.

I've seen on the internet that some sort of touch-up pen or paint is available for this. Does anyone have experience with this? Is it possible to do a good job without being a great artist?

Any links for the touch up paint ?

I do not but I have seen a car where they used red on the white lettering and it looks nice.

I think black on the white lettering would look even better =D
If I could find something to make my tires look like blackwall tires I'd do it in a heartbeat. A sharpie marker for tires! Erases the 80's as fast as you can write.

I seem to remember Duplicolor making something like this. Maybe try a parts house that carries Duplicolor.

I've used the pen. It works fine and you don't need to be an artist.

Malo, here's a link to the Duplicolor version at O'Reillys, probably at lots of other parts stores too. Also available at Amazon, etc. Link: http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/detail/DPL0/HT100.oap?pt=N0473&ppt=C0171

I haven't used one for a while but in the past they did work to a degree. The only thing is they wear off after a while and you have to do it again. At least the ones I used.
