    when I was a teenager I worked afterschool at an auto body shop part of my job was to use a special paint that adhered to rubber to cover up over spray that got on tires and to add to the curb appeal when the customer came to pick up the car....I remember one old valiant in particular with near bald tread but looked sharp from the side lol....anyway yes this is a product that will work but where to find it? paint will just crack and peel off
     
  2. Used the flex seal and plasti dip to make whitewalls on mini bike tires amd it worked pretty good so id reckon you could put the black kind on over whatcha got

    I used the M.E. Miller Tire Co. Tire black tire paint 3 yrs ago and can't tell it ever was a whitewall. Also used on a set of Mickey Thompson tires that had the brown sidewall look from age on my T Bucket made them look better than new. This is some great stuff .

    If you read the whole thread you would know that this was already suggested, and also the reason it isn't an option for the OP.


    If you want to take a shortcut, read post #8.

    Man!!! if you go to the APV web site and look at the Pre Cure Outside Tire Paint this stuff sounds like this is what your looking for but where do you purchase the product? I filled out the response form they had on line but haven't heard back from them yet.
     
  9. The day I have to paint my whitewalls to get into an event is the day the promoters of that event can kiss my rosey red ass....
