Yes, that is an awesome job on the coupe.

..and yes, you can paint the raised letters white.

..but oil leaches out of the rubber and turns the white brown in about a year.

Thanks. Those would be tough letters to paint, they are so small. When I do paint tire letters I first clean the tires by scrubbing with kitchen cleanser. The paint I find easiest to use is reefer white Floquil lacquer. It's a bit of an off-white color, just like real white letters. I've got tires I lettered using this that are 20 or more years old and none of them have yellowed. Or not enough to notice.
