Default painting tires

Does this last when you paint your tires or does it wear off, any suggestions?

It will yellow and flake with time. If you want a nice looking whitewall get new tires. But if you are looking to save a few bucks try it out and let us know how it works out for you.

Not the tires just the Wording on the tires so they look like white lettering.

Fantastic on a dry tire, wait 5 minuets and hit them with a pressure washer and they will look like new
