My fat white wall tires

This is Plastidip rubber paint with vinyl paint over. Last year i made 2'' and this year i have 3'' white walls with a bigger tire (215-60-16). Never found a company that sells 3'' in 16 size tires so i decided to make them again for this summer. It take me 30 minutes to make one and i just repaint them once a month.

Neat! Keep us posted for any problems, like yellowing, peeling stuff like that.
Thanks for at least trying it!

Well i did this all summer long last year so here's what happenned.
The plasti dip flexes and holds great but yellows after about a month so you have to sand down the rubber then clean it a few times with acetone. Then i noticed that aplying a coat of white vinyl paint over the plasti dip it stayed white. It never peeled in 5 months and i drive my van daily.

Looks like:
A) Going to bite the tire.
B) Likes what the reflection looks like.
C) Getting ready to "christen" the wheel and tire.

My Dad over 50 yrs ago painted white walls on his p/up truck. That truck was his pride & joy.

Thanks for posting !
