Theres a product at most hardware stores it a thick rubber paint to cover the handles of tools it come in red ,white and a bunch of other colors. It will stick to a well prepped tire.  Mask your red line the size you want reduce it with zyleen and spray. And it will not crack or turn yellow.

redline are a nice tire, i have a set for a 68 camaro, but they are too big for vw, that will be your biggest prob with finding these tires, there is a  tire place in cloverdale that might be able to get them for you
