I've got a 15" redline spare in the GTO. I was able to find a 215/70/15 Michelin tire with a 3/8" white wall, which I believe they used on the Grand Marquis, Crown Vic, and maybe some full-size Lincolns a few years back. I painted it red with a paint pen and it looks great. About 5 minutes in a junkyard tire pile and I had one for free.

Great Idea! I'm looking this weekend!!!
What paint pen did you use?

I've done it a few times with different cars, and had good results with different methods. I know I used a Testor's paint pen on one, and I think I actually did it with a brush another time.
