Amongst other things, just think that added to make the 'Essex' look so nice.

Markal Paint Markers work OK for highlighting the graphics on tyres.

They also do a Paint Stick that works if the whole letter is raised (not recessed and serraited.)

Cost about 4 quid each(for the paint marker, and 2 quid for the crayon.

Are the marker paint pens ok for use on rubber ?

They don't say rubber and I want to make sure before I start applying !!

yep goto any motorworld shop and get the paint pens they do the job nicely, one touch i will add to mine when finished. i do think they lok so nice with the lettering in white.

Yes, they work OK on rubber tyres (as long as they are clean and free of Amor-All silicone protectants etc)

I use them on the race cars to re-do the Goodyear or Dunlop graphics.

Thanks - I've just ordered some.

I can't wait to see what they will look like on my new Esprit - I think it'll set the whole car off perfectly !

Chris,

There is only one Esprit that really suits having white lettering on the tyres... It's being delieverd to Gerald's on Thurdsay morning for a complete checkover. My bank manager is already sitting down in anticipation of a phone call.

Is it a quick in and out job (oooh matron) at Gerald's, or is she staying in for a few days? Only ask because we're in for a C service (gulp!) weekend after next; wondered whether I might catch a sneaky glimpse of your new chariot

James - I just know. Gerald is taking delivery tomorrow and it all depends on what needs doing.

As you knowe Gerald is The King and his comment to me was "you won't get it back until it's sorted"

To be honest without Gerald I wouldn't have taken the risk of buying an unrestored Essex as it's only because I know he will sort out any problems properly that I bought it.

If you don't see it (and I hope you dont !) I'm sure you'll see it soon.

This must be like having a new (older) woman, just got to caress those subtle curves, feel her all over,....... then try her out!
