Wow thank you. I did end up replacing the tires as the paint browned over months and then I tried blasting the paint off with a pressure washer and did all kinds if damage to the sidewalls.
You can do this with a 2 inch roller with edge guard, hug the rim with the guard, dont load up the roller ,use light coats to minimalize bleed, I used killz primer as my paint it drys fast and dont run easy, my tires were weathered and the paint leached in nice it dont scrub off with a normal washing, your tires look really good, Nice tape bending
how about $140 tires in the first place? - th-cam.com/users/redirect?q=http%3A%2F%2Fcallitw.com%2Findex.php%3Froute%3Dproduct%2Fproduct%26product_id%3D78&event=comments&redir_token=weO_aXx6p6yNkEuk1Xh5eB3Bhft8MTU2MTI5OTEwMkAxNTYxMjEyNzAy&stzid=UgwKH6d_CcF7LqvedDR4AaABAg
great video, i used to use white shoe polish back in the 80s and it worked great, people would ask me where i bought my whitewalls. i found no need for tape using a slow steady hand, and when the whitewalls got dirty just re-do or touch up.
Thank you....I never even thought of shoe polish. That's a good idea, I figured I'd try something intentionally made to do it but I think show polish would have been a better idea.
I just did four brand new tires with some no name white wall tire paint I bought on ebay for $29. They cured inside and looked great for two months with the white paint, but after just ONE day on the vehicle, they turned brown like yours. So, probably not the sun, but I am guessing bleed through rubber oils, maybe activated by the movement of the sidewalls, which is why it did not bleed when allowed to cure inside for two months. My paint directons said to hand sand and clean with laquer thinner, which I did. So, the adhesion does seem great and I'm goiong to do a new topcoat of another paint sold online called Ranger Tire Paint and if the turns brown, I will try the oil-based sign paint recommended in one of your comment, as I have a sign shop and plenty of the paint. But, I think sign enamel dries too brittle for tires and in time, it will crack. There is a latex house paint made to stick to vinyl siding and they say it works even over black vinyl, so maybe that will be tried at some point, too. Lots of fun trying, anyway. Thank for your honest video and efforts.
I’m watching this video before I do my next chopper build. Trying to get decent whitewalls in the uk is difficult and expensive. So I’m gonna give it a shot. Cheers mate.
Unfortunately, the white does brown overtime from the rubber. I think maybe it's not such a great plan to pain them white, maybe red would have aged better...lol. Thanks!
James! Nice going buddy. Just finished watching your Bambi video and gotta subscribe. Love your dog in the montage and now, gotta go see your Shasta video. Own a 1962 Astrodome and a 1969 Loflyte that I just purchased a few days ago. DEFINITELY going to try your tire trick. Thanks for the great videos, can't wait to see the rest! You and the pooch, take care! Oh, we hit the notification bell too!
That is a great comment. I have been meaning to do a follow up. I know that it has yellowed/browned a bit from the rubber but I do not know if it will clean off. I will try to put something together on it. Thanks
Interesting, looks good. Thanks for sharing this video. Great application, looking forward to your always honest review of the product after use. I remember always using Bleach White on white walls when washing them. Dirty, scuffed white walls draw attention, they take vigilant cleaning. Happy trails!

hello .. I am a strict followers who live in turkey. your projects are great.. I congratulate your team. I have an amateur bobber project. I tried various methods of applying white stripe on the sidewalls. but I could not get a long-term performance. There are alternatives in my research such as asphalt line paint, leather seat paint and plastic bottom. I do not want to experience situations such as deformation and separation of paint from the surface after application. For this reason, I would like your advice on the right paint material and the correct application method. Has it deformed over time? Has the paint peeled off? Can you suggest me?
Thank you. This paint did discolor and bubble after 6 months. So I can not recommend it. I never tried anything else, but do feel shoe polish or asphalt paint might be more successful. These were also brand new tires so maybe that was an issue too.
Looks great, as long as you mask off properly, you ain't going wrong, whitewalls are a rip. This is what happens when dealers charge too much, its inevitable
Just came across this. I remember the travel trailer, but not this episode. As far as videos go, I guess this would be like finding new old stock. Awesome alternative to overpriced whitewalls
that's a good question. The color I requested was not the color I got and was almost red. So my painter and I tinted it to match SnapOn Air compressor red....hahahaha
Just a little FYI - callitw.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=78 $140 and they offer different sizes, and tires under $100 are pretty rare, so this is a good deal and you ditch the mexican paint job. This whitewall paint is most popular on Mexican buses. - www.tomsbuspage.ca/Tijuana/Tijuana38.JPG
That's good information, I haven't be able to find white walls that cheap. Yeah, I was ashamed when I painted them but thought I'd give it a try. Thanks!
I am absolut nonexpert on paints but for me oilbased paint should be best (houses outside oldfashioned paint). Absolutely not latex paint because that I KNOW dont work e.g. if you paint on mold surface...after a while the mold comes in daylight......with oilbased or type paints for cars...not. Oilbased because its "stretchy" after drying. Opinions thanks 😉
I think painting tires is a strange idea in general. I chose the paint as it was formulated for tires and thought I'd see how it worked. I thought it may have worked as most white lettering on tires is painted on. But unfortunately, the oils in the tire discolored the paint, and it bubbled in a few spots. But where it stuck, it really stuck. Thanks for watching!
@@AZExpert you have to make sure to REALLY sand the sidewall of the tire, especially new tires as there is a substance in the sidewall to get the tire to release from the mold easily. get rid of that brownish substance and it shouldn't bleed through. also heat as you paint as to open the pores of the rubber more.
@@billwilliamson9842 I appreciate the feedback. I did sand fairly aggresively and did clean agressively too. The paint really did stick well in most areas that even when powerwashing I sliced the sidewalls up trying to remove the paint. It's been my experience that tires left on plastic/vinyl/rubber surfaces tend to react chemically with them and turn them brown permanently. Thanks!
200% false trailer tires are designed for a vertical load and not designed to have lateral loads on them. Think the front of a car and forces on the side wall when turning. Then... show me a 225/75r15 that has the same load rating as a st 225/75r15... not gonna happen.

I understand the sidewall construction differences between the two styles which is among the reasons trailer tires should never be on a car.

@@AZExpert I wonder if applying a sealer to it before applying the paint wouldn't helped. I actually already bought the same paint and had heard of people complaining that it chipped away or flaked off.

Se ha seguido manteniendo el color blanco o se ha quitado la pintura, que marca es la pintura, gracias.

common white spray paint will also do fine and be pretty durable if you properly remove fatty stains before
I've never tried that on tires

Great thing about white is that it hides a lot of imperfections
i going to try latex house paint, thanks you are an expert
I would wonder if a primer layer like red paint allowed to dry fully would prevent rubber bleed through. Good luck and thank you!

so did mine. It was a good experiment for sure and not something I would recommend.
GReat job, what type of paint did you use?
Yo that’s cool as fuck, and you can apply to any tire and like you said you save alot of money instead of buying all new tires
"paint it on with a bristle brush" proceeds to paint it on with a foam brush lol
