I use Zinnser Bin to paint white walls, 4 coats but quick drying. Paint it on with a small brush.

[@rabidsquirrelgarage745]

Cool!! I'll check it out.

I never knew you could do your own white walls like that. It's coming along real nice. 👍

What about the over spray on the spokes???

Nobody's perfect!

[@Kenneth_McGrew]

yeah but what does it look like after a few months on the road...

[@masternone3313]

Its been a few years. How did they hold up?

[@Nunya369]

Did it crack after hitting ramps, kerbs etc?

[@alitariq1104]

how did it hold up in this much time?, i mean are there any cracks or something, would be better if you upload a video with the current situation of the whitewalls, cheers

[@rabidsquirrelgarage745]

After a year, it is starting to crack. I'll probably redo it soon. Iy could be the tires so I'll be installing new tires soon and repeating the whitewall process to see how long it lasts.

[@alitariq1104]

Rabid Squirrel Garage but it held up for 6-8 months right?

Nice job ! What do you think of it after one year ? Does it still look good ?

[@grizzlymike85]

Is it still holding up

[@silversurvivor]

With all due respect they're still white on the red frame and the one side of the white is thinner then the side that is facing the motorcycle. I feel like it might have been better if you used a brush instead of the spray so you could get a better detail. Just my opinion and I don't want to sound negative because it does look okay and it's a great concept good job.

[@krazyk7124]

Why isnt my making tape or pinstriping sticking?

[@rabidsquirrelgarage745]

Did you clean the tire first? I used a stiff brush and dish soap mixed with water.

[@jeroldredic8465]

Get a better quality tape.

[@voidjointx]

How many cans have you used?

[@rodneyrogers3023]

How’d you get it off the spokes again?

[@rabidsquirrelgarage745]

I didn't remove them, I covered them with tape.

He was asking about the overspray, did the scrub pad work?

What do you do when you have to clean them up ? Ha !

No, it's just a vinyl paint.

Your overspray looks horrible dude.. use a piece of newspaper to cover the rotor and wire spokes.. otherwise it cane out ok.. too much trouble for me..

Bad news it will crack they all spend 20 bucks get babymoons Portawalls
