White tire paint

Reference WTP-250

Read reviews (2)

The white tire paint was developed in Iceland. There is a liquid in the paint which makes it softer and easier to paint which is partly made of thinner. But the main secret behind the formula is a fluid we put into the rubber which keeps it from getting completely solid.
Actually the paint gets only 50% solid-hardness, preventing it from cracking on the moving tire.

This paint is perfect for diagonal (nylon) tires, but the soft sidewalls on radial tires will cause cracking on some types. So we recommend the White Tire Paint only for diagonal tires, even though it can be used on radials, but then only on the responsibility of the owner.

Also recommended for marking tires or to renew old sides.

Content: 250 ml (enough for 3/4 tire-sides)

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Sand the tires so that all irregularities or letters are gone (grain 180). This may also happen with a sander.
After this you can sand even finer (400 grit) to achieve an even surface.

2. Clean the tires thoroughly with paint thinner or silicone remover (which leave nothing behind after evaporation).
Use several cotton cloths to prepare the surface properly before painting.
Repeat this treatment until no more dirt commes on the cotton cloth while cleaning, even if you have to repeat this up to 10 times

3. To achieve a "perfect" curved paint line it is best to outline the desired whitewall area using common automotive painter's tape
(pin stripe tape).
After painting, the painted outlines must be scored to prevent tearing the paint upon removal of the tape.

4. Shake and stir the paint well and often.
Paint 3 layers of WTP and let each layer dry for 24 hours.
After the last coat let the tires dry for at least 24 hours before use.
Equipment should be cleaned with turpentine.

The paint is applied with a brush. It is rather thick for good coverage and adhesion. The first coat covers amazingly well. The second coat completely seals the tire and the third coat will make it stronger and more durable against small accidents, such as contact with a curb. The paint dries slowly allowing all brush marks to disappear. There is a strong possibility that the tires will show a brown (or yellow) colored rubber-softening material through the paint. Triple layered paint will reduce this discoloration. If the tires are brand new this might be a problem. Then 4 or even 5 thin layers of the paint are needed to close in this brown softening material. If the plan is to spray the paint, please use Toluene as a thinner. To help keep water and dirt away it is good to spray a tire cleaner on the tires, two or three layers before the first drive. It is also a good idea to have tire cleaner in the car, to clean all dirt and grease from the white walls after a journey to the countryside.
