I wanted a vintage race appearance for my 15" wheels with Avon CR6ZZ tires, so was looking for a way to do the sprayed "AVON" stencil on the sidewalls. After buying the Raceline Digital version of stencils, which in my opinion were way too large for the tires, I happened upon a cheap set of 2" cardboard stencils at the local office supply store - $2.99.
So, after giving the sidewalls a good cleaning, taping together the stencil letters with the right radius, and spraying with some SEM parchment interior dye........
Here's the stencils I used:
I held the spray can about 12" - 18" from the tires so that the dye went on fairly dry. They have just the right amount of overspray to look like race tires, so if you're looking for a more finished white lettering job, this probably isn't the method for you.
Here's what the tread of the CR6ZZs looks like:
Now I just need to get a few final adjustments done, including a realignment and resetting of the ride height so I can get these installed and get those graduation pics taken.
