White Lettered tyres (and skinny whites) can be ground/sanded till the white shows. Bit of an art and easy to screw up a tyre.
Whitewall paint gives varying results, general consensus is it doesn't last long. Best product is apparently a plastic/rubber paint from Krylon. (Krylon Fusion I think) I've seen Krylon at Bulder's Warehouse so someone mustbe importing their stuff. They may be able to get it for you.
You got a number for Doug? Thanks.

Jeez dude, stop being so sensitive.. Damn! Nowhere did I say Im not taking it...I will pick it up from tomorrow, when I am in the Crawford, Rondebosch East area... that is if you still wanna sell them to me...

How many times have I said that I have learnt to deal with it. Nizaam, I have being bringing in white walls for myself for a long time, and have tried most brands including the ATLAS inserts... the quality has not changed at all, so its Really not your fault... :)

Whitewall, do you have some pictures of whitewalls you have done? The pics on your website dont reflect your actual work or is that your 14inch VW wheel with white walls?

HI you can get white wall any size, longs your tires allow space to make the white walls, same tires have so much righting on them, that is no space, what i use do, just clean the area where
the white wall to be painted. All members are welcome to pm.

Hi, let me try to explain how it is done.
First i have to find space for the white wall, you know Te tires have a lot of righting, when the place has Benn chosen, the tire have to be clean, then, with a pencil grinder using a flapper wheel, (sand paper 80 grit ) just taking out all oils, wax, dirty, then the white wall is painted on the tire, the paint is imported from UK,i painted my first wheel in november last year, still going strong.
any more ??? please just pm

New up date.
New white wall tech is under development, no more PAINT, a white silicone rubber is inserted in to the tyre, expands and contracts as per the tyre temperature, i expect that white wall last long as the tyre live, no problem to clean as is part of the tyre, i got two of this new walls on my car to run test on it, i will keep all inform of the results.
