Has anyone used white wall tire paint?

Did anyone use this stuff? And how did it work and hold up? I'm thinking about trying it but a little skeptic about it. If you did use it, what name brand did you use? Have any photos?

Just don't try the Plast-Dip method. They yellow too quickly.

The best way to get cheap white walls is to shave tires that have raised white lettering. You can use a grinder and a UD sander. Or, check to see if any shops do it locally.

I haven't used it, but I've seen it in person and it looks really tacky. You can tell as soon as you get within 10 feet that its not the real thing, and when you're close up it looks horrible.

Let the air out of your tires, glue these in with bead sealer, air up the tire and your done! Come in different sizes, I run these and no problems..
