What happens here

After cutting, the 'MFHoodrich' stencil is carefully separated from its backing paper. The tire surface is thoroughly cleaned using brake cleaner to remove any contaminants, ensuring optimal adhesion. The stencil is then precisely aligned and applied to the tire sidewall. Plastic bags are used to mask off the rest of the tire and wheel, preventing overspray. A light coat of white spray paint (Rust-Oleum Automotive Enamel) is applied over the exposed stencil areas.

Goal: Prepare the tire and apply the first layer of custom lettering

Tools and materials

  • Custom 'MFHoodrich' Stencil — To create the custom lettering on the tire
  • Plastic Bags Summit Racing — Masking off the wheel and other tire areas to prevent overspray
  • Brake Cleaner — Cleaning the tire surface prior to stencil application

true. Let's get this separated. Now, if I really wanted to like get fancy, I would kind of like weed this and put it on transfer paper and then stick it to the tire. I really don't think that that level of precision is necessary here because I can just do this. Oh, this is perfect. That's where the old one was, All right, that's perfect. That is perfect. Need some tweezers and they need the D, too. You always give him the D. Give him the D. I didn't think it was going to stick this. Well, I did just clean it with a whole bunch of brake clean. We need some uh we need some of that painters tape. The masking tape, not painters tape. Okay, Dale, let's see your paint skills. Odd scenario here. So, I wouldn't really, you know, Yeah, I suck at this, but we're going to do it anyway. Okay.
