    Question painting rubber? or white walling

    Okay, what is the deal with painting the tyres? like this

    Okay so how is this done? can it be done after buying the rubber or do you buy tyres like this?
    is this a costly thing?
    And finally is there anyone in WA who does it?

    thanks a million , rep for anyone who helps out

    the red and blue bands pictured come like that. to install white walls on a tyre they cut a chunk out of your sidewall and melt a new sidewall in.

    dont do it. buy red bands or deal with your tyres rolling off the rim around hard corners.

    Some places just use a scourer to roughen up your side wall and then paint on them.

    its not an expensive thing, as parkway sai around $40-$55 a tire

    or they can smooth the writing on the tyre and paint it on
