I'm guessing you're asking about a set of racing slicks...
In a trained hand, regular spray paint will do the job, provided it's an exact color match, applied lightly as a dusting coat, and one wants to take the time to do the custom & delicate masking involved. It might be a good idea though to find the local racing tire distributor in your area and have this done by Goodyear themselves ... I would think that if a person owns a '68 vette and is asking for this caliber of work, he might be testing my knowledge of my craft, or be looking for a replacement set at the detailer's expense. If it's the original tire paint, even some dressings will remove it -- proceed with caution
Please post a pic of the completed job, I know I'd love to see it

Thanks. The lettering is already "wasted" so will advise cust. that I will try but he may have to settle for all black tires. It's really more of a thing than a 'vette. Radically customized.... 20 yr. old paint job that would probably cost 10K to duplicate...no stencils, all sprayed or airbrushed, a few spiderwebs but basically still good..this will be an interesting project!! Pics will be posted.
