Default Maintaining Hoosier white lettering...

Well I bought the hoosiers and planned on running the letters out. When I got them I realised its nothing like a true white lettering and would prob come off easily when cleaned. You guys know of any clear coat type stuff that could be sprayed over the letters to keep them from coming off? I figured you wouldnt even notice a permanent clear coat as long as tire shines over it.

Thanks in advance,
Erik

Clear coat would crack with the flex of the tire, if you want to keep the white, tape off the letters and spray them white, much more permanent than chalk.

You used to be able to get white tire crayons. Worked awsome on white letter touch ups. I'm old though, you might not be able to get them anymore.
