First of all i would like to say that its my first DIY(howsoever small it is) on my bike & all credit goes to XBHP

i wanted to paint my bike's tyre marking so i collected few things which are easily available.

1. Surgical blade (Scalpel)


2. Aerosol Paint Spray


3. Packing tape


4. Scissor


5. Needle


Now after i got everything which i needed, first i cleaned my bike's tires properly & then applied tape on it & started cutting & peeling out the portion which i wanted to paint with the help of scalpel & needle, after doing that it was looking like this..


next step was to paint the desired part using Aerosol paint. I did several coatings of that paint after each couple of hours.

after repeating last step again & again finally i removed that tape from tire which made my bike's tire look like this.

This is nice but don't you think it is little bit time consuming,instead of covering the MRF and NYLOGRIP with the tape you can take a no. 2 brush and a 10 Rs paint box and brush it.But yes if by doing several coatings,this thing stays for more than 45 days your work will surely be appreciated.

yeah it is time consuming if you are doing it fist time(just like me ) but i am sure you'll love doing it..& I've also tried the second option you mentioned but that didn't last long, once it got dirty specially after getting dipped in mud, it partially got washed off & with in a week it almost got disappeared & remaining partial alphabets got yellowish tint..this time i believe that it will last long as I've done few coatings of aerosol paint on it

thanks bro for your appreciation

Nice DIY.
I have done the method suggested by Aryan when I had a Pulsar. Man it took me almost a whole day to paint MRF in 8 places. Had to make sure that my hands never shook.

i did it by using normal paint and brush....i tool much much less time...n if u hav a steady hand the results a remarkably good...

even simler was doing with the help of an old style WHITENER/FLUID... the bottled one with a small brush...i had done it on my RX using that....results were good

Great DIY there dude!! Will definitely try on my bike. Looks nice. It'll be more informative if u write down the cost of each thing needed.

thanks bro
things i used while doing this are very common, you can find Aerosol Paint's can for about 100-150bucks, scalpel(surgical blade) in just 5rs rest tape, scissor & needle are found in almost every house i guess, so its quiet an inexpensive DIY & will not cost you more then 200bucks in total.
