Default Blacking out thin white walls

So what are you guys using to make your thin stripped white wall tires look like black walls. changed my front to a 18" low profile black wall. kept the rear 16" that is a thin white wall.will change when it wears out but need somthing to cover the white wall.

They are called paint sticks or paint pens. Semi-difficult to get the paint to flow but do a great job. Painted my thin whites red and get a lot of compliments. However, black walls are in my future.
