So, I tried the "make your own whitewalls" thing.....

[hotrodron]

Well, after watching the video and hearing everyone talking about it, I just had to try it. They certainly aren't perfect, but they were FREE.......

White wall paint

I saw an ad on Ebay and the guy SWEARS that the paint he has WONT RUB OR FALL OFF...!! Rather expensive from what I saw...35.00..I think

 

[hotrodron]

I've heard bad things about the paint. The oils in the rubber bleed through turning the whitewall a tan color etc. I ground these down using a flap disc on an angle grinder.

been there done that with the paint off of ebay. im sure it may possibly work with some old dry tires, but dont use it on tires that still may have some oil in them.... it comes straight through and turns the white a tan color.

You did the grinder thing right.....not paint?...they look cool to me

 

[hotrodron]

Thanks. Yeah, just took the grinder to 'em. Man, what a mess! Oh, and the smell It was nice out today, so we turned off the AC in the house and opened the windows, well, long story short, my entire house smells like someone's been doing burnouts in the hallway!

[hotrodron]

Hahaha. No no Bonehead, I didn't do it inside but the smell blew in the house through the windows.

 

[Bonehead]

Duh, I guess I missed that part, I am going to get my money back from that speed reading course I slept through.
