gossp Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 I have come up with a set of new 26” tires at a steep discount to put on my Maxwell when my rims are wooded this year. They are white walls and I would prefer black. I know there are a lot of tire paints out there. I am looking for first hand knowledge of specific and still available products in use on tires that see plenty of road time. If I can’t come up with a product or plan that I have confidence in... I will just mount them as they are! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vermontboy Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Every one that I have tried so far has turned brown after awhile.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Carl Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 I hear your preference for blackwalls for these oldies. I am SURE you will find the solution. Because : do you see the white "smudge" at about 2 o'clock on my old Lester ? I thought it had been deposited there. Took some gasoline to try to clean it off. It started to take the BLACK off, exposing more white !!!! So in this case, apparently my blackwalls are simply upgraded whitewalls ? My old Cad is such a beater that I didn't get too bent over it, but I think I would like to set it right. Maybe we should call Coker ? - Carl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Restorer32 Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Growing up in Dad's tire shop in the 1960's it was my job to paint used tires to make them look better. We used black enamel from the hardware store thinned with gasoline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
