Re: PZeros & Extroverts

The coloring is a strip of colored rubber cured into the tire's sidewall with a
thin layer of covering black rubber.  After the tire is cured, the lettering is
ground down with a fine stone to create the proper finish and to remove any of
the black covering. 

It would be very difficult to apply any kind of paint because it would crack
due to tire flexing.
