Things you will need to proceed with:
1. A white paint market
2. Clean Cloth
3. Tyre Cleaner
4. Scrubber

Tyre Lettering Steps:
1. Remove the tyres using the toolkit
2. Now that you have removed the tyre, you need to scrub it as hard as possible. This step removes all the dirt and oil present and gives it a dull look. Once you have washed the tyre and noticed the dullness, wipe it with a clean rag until dry.
3. Get the marker for yourself and first shake it well. Now, pump it first against the cardboard, piece of paper or even a towel to saturate the tip, so the paint starts flowing
4. Colour the letters with the marker. The easiest way is to start with the centre first and focus on the outlines with another fine tip market.
5. Give it a touch upon the spots if you missed any part, and let it dry for a while. If you wish to give it a bolder look, go for another coat.

Precautionary Steps
1. You might accidentally colour outside the lines but do not worry. All you need is a black marker with which you paint the area where the white colour has been done. Now, the black title will not match the colour of your tyre, so it is better to pull up the first step in the right way.
2. If you are going for another coat, make sure that you do not press your marker too hard because it will peel off the first coat.
3. You can wear gloves and old clothes as it is hard to wash out the paint.
