Default anyone done the letters on their tires in color?

I've seen several photos recently where people have colored the raised words "Harley Davidson" in white or another color on their tires. Does anyone know what they are using to do this?

Might want to check with WildThang , his lettering looks really nice.
Maybe he could refresh our memory , his bike looks killer with the tires done.

Harley sells the paint pens also. I did the tires on my Night Train in white. Stuff held up pretty good. White p/n is 149A1 and I have some Screamin' Eagle orange also. P/N 98619. I bought these so long ago I don't even remember what I paid for them. I see the new catalog doesn't even have them. Could check with your local dealer.

You can get a few different colors at your local Harley dealership. I did my tires when I 1st bought my bike in 2010.

Automobile touch up paint from any parts store, Arts and crafts paint pens from any craft store or wally world or basically anywhere that sells pens and or paper lol. I've even used the wifes nail polish before. It all works the same.
