Hey guys,

I was watchin Dirty Jobs today and saw a guy repainting old truck tires after he had re-treaded them. Is it possible for an average person to repaint tires? where would you get the paint? Yes I am talking about tires and NOT WHEELS BTW.

Thanks

 

Do you mean painting the lettering, or painting them black?

 

I don't believe that its possible to do that on standard radial tires. They were doing that on Semi truck tires. Why do you want to repaint them anyway, you can clean them you know? lol.

 

He was repainting them black. I wasnt planning on doin it. I was just curious if it was possible for an average person to do. lol

 

I don't see why not, but I think a scrub brush with a good cleaner and tire shine would come out better.

 

LOL seen this done... my FATHER... had white letter tires.. he is CONSTANTLY scrubbing the curbs when he parks next to them.. his passanger side tires before he changed them his original set where all white the black on the outside got rubbed off... well he bought a 99cent can of flat black and once a week he would spray them with paint to cover up the white lol... got to love it

 

lol. ^nice

 

Maybe someone might want a different color of tire say green, red, blue or something of that nature... guys at the dirt track here paint there tires but im not sure how it lasts or what it looks like up close.
