Painting a White Wall Tire Black ?

[crotchrocket]

The idiots at the garage got me a white wall tyre for my Bike, i mean who uses them these days?????

Anyway i had to accept it as i was short on time and had it booked to go somewhere else.

Any ideas on making it black?? ?

white wall on that big army bike.....

lets see some pictures. Perhaps it looks awesome and you just need someone to tell you how to feel.

It doesnt look too bad but i have now lost about a grand getting this bike up to working order and i dont want to buy another white wall for the front, it also doesnt match the black tyre on the sidecar which would look strange in black.

Thanks Dub, i had wondered about shoe polish. Sounds good.

I remember from years back, there was a black rubber restorer that you wiped on to make bumpers look deep black again. I'm sure a couple coats of that would work... if only I could remember the products name...

bondo has "black again" that is basically a rubber/vinyl dye

They were talking about dye, not polish...
