I would think a flat red paint would work if it's just a spare. Chuck the wheel & tire on a front spindle, use a hand rest, and spin it while you stripe. Wipe any excess off with lacquer thinner.

Tried many until I found the red Marks-A-Lot brand permanent marker. Hard to get a good color comparison in the photos I took at the time but I had a few original red lines as I was comparing the Marks-A-Lot red marker to them (and other markers and even paint) In natural outside light it's, IMO, spot on and no streaks. I think I went around a total of three overlapping times across the width of the tire "line" or streak.

It turned out to be a waste of money. The markers were junk. I think they were made by Dupli-color.

They were still nearly like new. I mounted them on my original 14" Charger steel wheels and then installed the original wheel covers that the car was ordered with. I like the look, but driving on them is a real experience. It's kind of like steering a roller skate.

Should look good car being all black. Thanks again.
