White walling method?

Recommended Posts

What ever paint you use on a tyre will eventually come off as they are so flexible it will crack and peel off and generally get scuffed during use.

I would look for some white acrylic paint like citadel or something which is quite durable and are water based without any agressive solvents in (as i cant see that doing the rubber any good long term)

I found a tyre pen from a an Auto shop worked best and lasted the longest for me. 
 

The tip was on the large side for intricate lettering, so I trimmed it down a bit which helped a lot.

I did also do a ‘quick’ trial on an old 1/8 wheel before I trimmed the tip.  It has a slight ridge on the tyre to guide the pen around. With a bit of care it could be a lot tidier.
