Do it yourself whitewall tires. Any ideas?

Question

I want whitewalls for my bike. I can't find anyone who makes one for the rear tire which is a 3.75 on an 18 inch rim.

I've looked all over the place. Does anyone know of a company that will take a blackwall and make it a whitewall?

Is there any way I could do it myself? I would want it done really well. Do kits exist for it? What can I do?

Answer 1

Do you have a dremel? put a abrasive grinding stone on it and ruff the area you want to have white. then contact www.JCwhitney.com. THey used to sell a whitewall paint. However, some better paints will last about 4 months or so, depending upon how much side wall action you give that bike.

Answer 2

some of the newer flexible paints would be suitable..



contact your local paint supplier & see whats availiable..



paint them yourself..



there are places..HOT ROD Suppliers that do white walls..

Answer 3

I used a white sharpie maker to highlight the letters on my front tire on the Reflex. Makes it look like I have racing tires, kind of.

Answer 4

Tire lettering pencil is the cheapest way to go, just make sure to sand off the shiny surface layer on the tire before you apply, you will have to repeat every so often though.

Answer 5

Go to any auto parts store and buy a "tire lettering pencile".

Answer 6

the white wall is made into the tire...I don't think there is a do it yourself thing...sounds kind of odd to me.

Answer 7
