Painting whitewalls.


Recommended Posts

Here's a little tip on how to make a whitewall tire.

First you need three supplies.

1. White acrylic paint. DO NOT use enamels they will not dry.

2. Circle template.

3. Airbrush.

Just center the tire in the appropriate sized circle.

Thin the acrylic paint with regular tap water until it's the consistency of 2% milk, then hold the tire tight to the circle template, and lightly airbrush the sidewall with light coats of paint until the sidewall is completely covered.
