BADDH:
Guys,

I have a pair Silver Star Comp III tyres bought to use presently on my 83 Cruiser Build albeit with age the Skinwalls have faded out and the actual comp III label now barely visible.

I managed to restore the colour back into the sidewalls and I am made up how well they look albeit need a bit of advise on how to tackle reinventing the labels,  I think it's a green and silver type albeit not completely sure, defo not yellow label.

Any help guys..

bigfatolly:
Let's see some pics then!

I reckon you could make the labels into transfers like the ones you used to get on airfix kits.

I believe you can buy the stuff in sheets and print on it with an inkjet.

Although probably no good in the wet but you could brush clear varnish over it to protect I suppose....

BADDH:
Cheeky picture of my phone.

This is how they looked when I bought them, as you can see the walls are faded with age albeit they are in good condition over all with almost unworn tread pattern.

I will put some pics up this morning of them with the walls restored and the area of the faded label,  your idea could work pal... I was thinking of a stencil print ..?

BADDH:
Walls restored and the decal remnants I want to restore next.

How did you do that then?  Trade secret or can you tell all?  :daumenhoch:
