Ahhhhhhh, the class of a wide white! I don't know where you are buds, but in Australia you can buy proper white wall tyre paint in speed shops (East Coast Auto Spares, etc) but I doubt if Autobarn, Supercheap or any of those "50 millions things but nothing I need" stores would have it. Other than that, I've heard of blokes using road paint aswell, I think because it has some flexibility to it and it has an almost reflective finish when dry. I got this info from my old man and his old hot rod buddies, those dudes know all the tricks!!!

Cheers dude, I hope it helps.

Use Krylon Fusion to paint your whitewalls.

[OUTLAW]

yes a 16" motorcycle wheel will fit. look at my gasser bike, i put one on it and i used the stock 20" tube in it. my bike i think is in the bike build. here is some pic's of it

Use Krylon Fusion to paint your whitewalls.

near genius. I bet this works pretty well. I've had good luck with this pain on other things too. Added benefit -- yellow walls, blue walls, red walls, etc. :?

http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/show ... whitewalls Check out this post, it's by me. I've done a lot of painted on whitewalls. My daily driver truck has a set on it, my VW has a set on it, and my Minibike has a set on it too. You don't have to sand the tires smooth, I do that just to clean them up.
