Thank you for the kind words. I drew the stencil in Illustrator based on some photos I took of the modern Goodyear Blue Streaks used on the historic Trans Am series cars. A friend cut the stencil with his Cricut out of manila envelopes, I spaced it slightly from the sidewall with blue tape to get a bit of soft edge to the letters, and sprayed with white Plastidip from a rattle can. The color is fading nicely with the rubber coming through to yellow the white, and it takes to Meguiars hyper dressing really well. It’s been over 2 years and still holding up. A rough rub with water and a microfiber would remove the letters, though easy enough to respray. Pretty happy with it Note that the flying shoe is not quite accurate, as I had a hard time finding a great photo of the 60s era of the logo (at least in the time I had to borrow time on my friend’s cutter).
