    Anybody ever use the the instant whitewall paint?? I tried using one shot on the bias plys that were on my 49 chevy , but one of my tires got low and that was a catastrophic paint failure! Anybody know of a good sticky performance whitewall?? Or even a redline?

    This is what Brewsir told me to use on Batfink....Krylon fusion satin white or gloss white........You just touch them up once in awhile...

    Talk about "trailer trash"... try this: at most hardware type stores, they have a 1 gallon container of a product called" liquid roof sealant", it is a white laytex based rubber trailer home roof sealant!!! i have a gallon of this and have used it for both car and chopper tires!!! i masked off the rim and masked of the side wall where I wanted the edge, and I used "foam" paint brushes (they don't leave brush lines) and painted it on in thin layers. about 5 of them!! it dries and stays --rubbery-- and it can be ----gently---- cleaned with liquid dish soap and water. it has lasted 2 years so far! it is made for roofs so it must be fairly impervious to sun, rain, and snow??? I don't know...it worked for me!!!

    I don't have any close ups, the car is sold but here is the chopper, look close and you can kinda see what i mean. it is actually really easy, the one thing i forgot to mention is, you should really have the tire and rim off the vehicle, and laying flat on the ground!!! the "paint" lays out better that way, you can still do it installed, but you have to keep swiping the brush around the tire until the "paint" starts to dry, I learned from experience...ken
