I painted my wide whitewalls with white spray paint from Napa. I put on 3 coats of primer, let dry good and then spayed on 4 coats of flat white. After this was dry i spayed on a satin clear coat. This paint has been on for 2 years now and still looks new. Just dont hit the curbs.

Paint your whitewalls if you like, but PLEASE dont grind the sidewalls. If you do please dont drive anywhere around me or my family. White sidewall rubber is inherently weaker than black rubber. It doesnt need anymore help from a grinder. Dont believe me about the white rubber? Take a good look at any racing tire. The white letters are painted on. Next time you get to see a white letter street-tire that has experienced a blowout notice how much worse the white side looks in comparison to the black side. Tires were made of white rubber in the early part of the century until Mr Goodyear learned how to use carbon black in the rubber compound.
I have only heard good things about the stuff from Iceland.

Hi, I'm a owner of the Cosmo G-3000 and surching for the paint en brush were they did put the paint on the tire. Do you know if this is still available?
Thanks, Petje

I'm sure a street tire with the side ground a bit is still way stronger than say a DOT bias ply street slick, which are legal for street use and plenty of people run. Personally I don't like whitewalls.

It's clear to me that their is no clear answer as to the best way to paint a whitewall however I will be undertaking a white wall project and I am very currious how can I mask the tire to get a perfectly radiused edge?

[Minirod]

Any ideas on this?? perhaps cut a template out of tag board with a knife on a compass ??
