Another Whitewall tech

Hotrodprimer, thanks for your feedback, Jess took care of me.

 

Any one else try this tip?

 

Yes, I tried this recently on my shop truck but I decided to use the Krylon Fusion "Bone White" satin finish to try a more antique look as I felt the bright white would be too intense for my personal taste.

 

looks good!

 

i thought the same thing but wasn't sure how the finished product would look. now that i see it i think it looks great...a nice vintage look.

 

Krylon Fusion eh? Too bad I didnt know that when I tried it. Im one of those giant retards who also tried spray painting white walls on my tires. However Im a giant retard because I used the wrong paint. Ive made pinner whites into black walls before with rustoleum satin black, and it worked killer for many years, but the whitee rubber must be just the right composition for paint. So when I used rustoleum satin white on my tires it looked awesome! Then i drove it to a show, next day. I checked when I got there and it was flaking off. (My wife teases me to this day about getting fake white wall in my eye, lol) lucky for me with it all flaking off and enough staying nice in the right spots, it just looked like i had some really jacked up dirty ol white walls (from a few feet away) up close they looked like crap. Thats ok though cause every body was looking at the coffin hanging out of my hearse and not the tires anyway, lol. These days I just get out the trusty ol grinder. Perhaos I'll use the "fusion" on the ground whites for a tune up! Cool idea! -GothY-

 

damn, that bone white looks sweeeeeeeeet! didnt even know they had that color! Good lookin solid truck too!

 

Neat old thread and as a few others mentioned over 5 years ago now the 'smooth black wall tech' part is great. Krylon Fusion for plastic and rubber? Very useful info.

 

man It didn't work well for me mine just turned brownish gray on brand new tires .....I cleaned with degreaser and everything I even recoated and still turns brown...they looked really good for a little while though......I am just going to get the real thing when my pockets fatten up a little.

 

This is a great thread. im never buying fat whites again!

 

Good thinking slightly outside the box man, looks really good.

 

if the tires are still mounted how long should you wait to air them up and seat the bead i heard if you paint it fully with the tire broken loose then air up it puts hairline cracks in it maybe paint the bead and then seat and paint the rest, allso im curious how long did you wait between coats and how much did you scrub your tires i have a set of cooper cobras if that helps , thanks
