FYI I've read the gloom and doom on the tire marking issues so I e-mailed Kevin at Strada Sports about his supply of Shabo products. He says he has some left so I ordered some today. If anyone is thinking about using these products in the future I'd get whatever you can now.

I think I got the last set of dry transfers. I ordered 2 and they refunded me for one set and the shipping charge. So now I have a question in relation to tires: How do you get that semi-shiny look on the side of the tires if the letters have been sanded off? I like to have tires look "scuffed" but not where the lettering goes. This was kind of covered here, but I must have done something wrong. mb2501.proboards52.com/index.cgi?board=cart&action=display&thread=8 |

I'd try Testor's sanding films. Item 8802, I think Michael's has it, but I'm not sure. Work your way down the grades to the finest one. I read somewhere years ago that one guy ended by buffing with denim. I tried that by rubbing the tire against my jeans and it seemed to work okay, kinda gives it a shine. As with all sanding, go slow and easy. Good luck. BTW, isn't Kevin at Strada great to work with?
