Painting White walls

New to the forum, not to HD or EVO's. Picked up a 95 FLSTC that has brand new Dunlop white walls on it. I'm not fan of WW, and never had them before, so I was wondering if I can paint them or whatever ?
Thanks

You could try the special paint used on inflatables (boats).

I have done this several times when I had a bike with one white wall and one black wall. After cleaning the sidewall very good and letting dry good for a day, I spray paint with regular Rustolem or Krylon gloss black enamel paint. It will look shiny when new, but after you ride once and wash the tire, it looks fine. Never had any problem with the paint staying on.
