Zusammenfassung:A method and apparatus for imparting a decorative strip onto the sidewall of a cured tire. The tire is sealed between a pair of chucks and inflated. The sidewall portion of the tire to be decorated is maintained in a flat horizontal posture by the chucks and the inflation pressure. The tire is then rotated while a gun, having a nib is contact with the tire sidewall, dispenses a paint directly onto the tire. A heating element for curing or partially curing the paint is maintained in juxtaposition to the sidewall for heating the paint strip as it passes thereunder.
