Here's the first coat of the white wall paint on the front tire. I'll post more as I get the back & second coats on. So far not to bad to apply. In case you wondering, yes it's the paint from Orn in Iceland.

Man, that looks great!

Whiff

 

So that started life as a blackwall tire? It'n not just a repair of a whitewall?

Does it look good in person? It looks good on the pics.

 

Both tires started out life as blackwalls. The first coat covers real well, but a second and most likely a third will need to be done to look killer. At this point, I feel real good about the outcome. Second coat goes on tomorrow, last coat on Wednesday.

 

SDMF... I like it.... Old Bobber Style.... Rhubarb here's the link for the paint.. http://www.mbzponton.org/valueadded/other/tirepaint.htm

 

Thanks for the info!

Looks like a great idea.

 

First coat front & rear done, both sides. So far I've used exactly 1/2 can of paint. I ordered 2 to be safe, and I'm thinking the second coat will cover better. Anyway, I'll post more tomorrow with some close-ups.

By-the-way, if you haven't noticed, I found another use for that Harley blanket that just sits around doing nothing.

SDMF... man what a change... I think it really does the "Bobber LooK"... The paint didn't run... with the wheel vertical? Did you use the foam brush? Only 1/2 can.. can't beat that....

 

WgSkee...I'm loving it too. No runs, no drips, no problem. The paint is thicker than regular paint and I used a soft 3/4" brush. It gets a little gummy after a while, but just keep stirring it and it's good to go.

 

That's a cool lookin Street Bob you got there. I like the way you've blacked out a few things on the bike and the white walls will give it the Old School style.
