Other whitewall tire videos mention about heating the rubber with a hairdryer to open the pores of the rubber and thus provide better adhesion. Also cleaning with a rubber specific cleaner (i.e. Rema brand) or sanding the surface would help too.
The crazy this when you do this on a modern tire, it instantly looks vintage, even with lettering on it etc. Beats paying $1500 plus for whitewalls out of the states.
I've done many of my motorcycle tires. I paint it on lying the tire flat using a paint brush or paint pad. The Flex Seal will smooth itself out. Lettimg it dry for an hour like that, then turn the tire over and do the other side. Baking in the sun or a hair dryer will speed up the drying. Spraying from a can like this and masking gives a nice edge. My motorcycles are old and not show bikes. I wash the tires, then Simple Green, then sand lightly. They will clean up like new with Bleech White whitewall cleaner and a soft nylon scub brush, but not too aggressive with the dcub brush. Thanks for posting.
tomorrow i will try White vinyl dye I know it works on rubber Longevity that's what I'm looking for for die isn't on the surface it's like a stain in your clothes it goes into the molecules of the material
Andover MN here, I did this to my Corvettes tire lettering a few years ago, just finally started to notice a slightly offwhite color. Going on 3rd year now, think I'll just do a touch up coat but it's amazing how good it holds up even with heat cycles on and off the track.
Now that your wheels and tires are all fancy, it's time to address the paint. Scrub the whole truck with undiluted CLR and a green scotchbrite. Let it dry, then rub a THIN coat of boiled linseed oil over all the metal. Gotta do it in the summer when it's warm.
Hey thanks! The whitewalls on my 95 Roadmaster wagon are getting a little worn out. Maybe I'll try touching them up with some of this stuff. They make a brush-on version. That ought to make it easier keeping within the circle.
Here is a follow up episode on what they looked like after 3 months that you might want to check out first: ruclips.net/video/wmR35O6ncJQ/видео.html Thanks for watching!
This is funny. I saw this vudeo when you started. Haven't seen any of your videos since really. Today i am on coker's site and followrd a link to a video they have on you tube "how white wall tires are.made"... When it went to youtube it is them making their correct and overpriced whitewalls (with well known issues we all deal with)...and then your "who cares" spray paint 'em video right under it lolol.l
Just subscribed after seeing this in my feed. With the price of Koker wide white tires, this is a great DIY alternative to those of us on a family budget to try out. Thanks!
Awesome idea. I live in Ecuador and portawalls are impossible to find and costly to import from the US as would be real wide whitewall tires. I will give this a try when my current portawalls bite the dust.
Here is the follow up video on what they look like after 3 months: ruclips.net/video/wmR35O6ncJQ/видео.html You may want to watch it before you do it to your ride. Thanks for watching!
Sooooooo how long did this last and is there a follow up/aftermath video???? Iv actually seen this done on motorcycle tires but never something as heavy as a truck... I'd love to know how things are going now.
I wish you had shown a before and after shot ... The truck has seen better days exterior paint wise ... But those tires still look classy!!! ... even on a beat up truck. Gotta paint the rims red to get the real full effect though ... Yes ...
I'm going to try to show everyone what they look like now in the next episode or so. They are not as bright as they were when I first put it on. Thanks for watching!

Thanks youve made me decide to paint my suzuki vl bobber tyres ive custom built, ordered some white wall specific paint ive just found on ebay while watching this😂, just dont let the wife know ive spent more money on it😂😂

What's you're experience with the color turning brown or yellow over time?
I want to do some new motorcycle tires.

I was thinking of doing the same thing, glad to hear it holds up well. Is yours a daily driver or just run occasionally?
As previously asked^ how many miles you put on them? And was it parked in the sun or out in the qwather a lot?
FYI Rustoleum Leak Seal seems to be the same stuff, I couldn't find Flex Seal locally here in Alberta. Great video, it inspired me to do this.
Doing this today
Wish me luck!
@@assmannewzealand how did it hold up?
How has this held up over time?

The real test is driving the car around town then check to see if it still looks good
Comet vomit or AJAX and DAWN SOAP will do the same thing

I had always wondered how well flex-walls would work. This opens up levels of DIY never before seen
Lol, yeah it turned out pretty cool.😕🙂🤓🤠😎😏👍✌️👋👏💪🌾🍀🌿🍃🇺🇸
Better than a Ferrari, right
You could've shaved the tire with those raised letters, those would make the big gang wide whitewalls
I liked and subbed, you do shit just like I do, LOL, nice one buddy, sunday driver, very apt name for your channel
Dang cool. Now I want an old junker so I can do that and fix up the interior. As long as it's straight and runs it's awesome. Look amazing.

Bro dont say you did a terrible job you actually would do better than me
I wish you had shown a before and after shot ... The truck has seen better days exterior paint wise ... But those tires still look classy!!! ... even on a beat up truck.
Gotta paint the rims red to get the real full effect though ... Yes ...
Tires and wheels look good......I would say they are 10 footers.
10 footers? I'm a little slow. What's that?
@@sundaydriverrides look good standing 10 foot back.
@@jimbo3214 😂yeah that sounds about right
When you pulled off the first strip of tape my eyebrows went up... I'm interested.
Looks good bro
Lol I only came because I need flex seal would comment nice job!
That was a cool video
Thanks to you, I'm getting ready to whitewall the tires on my 1985 John Deere 112L lawn tractor with the same flex seal.

I did not. Dad and I were just talking about it one day and he wondered if flex seal would work so I figured I would give it a try. Thanks Miller!
Yeah no I daily portawalls. They're ideal for shows n driving slow but they crack and don't look good once they do
I lob ju! This is the solution I was looking for!
Has anyone tried the flex in the small paint can? I’ve been with the paint pens with veering results. Nothing spectacular. Or very long lasting.
I have only used the spray cans
