Welcome to my Tyre-Wall Painting blog (last edited on May 2012)
As you all know, white-wall tyres are expensive unless you're living in the States.I've tried lotsa method to achieve that classic look for my tyre. You name it, I've tried it. From....
1. paint marker pen
2. latex paint
3. white rubber slip-on etc etc
all of these material will show signs of "cracks" when applied to the tyres due to the harsh treatment of the elements like rain, uv-rays from the sun, dirt, road grimes and so on. As for the rubber slip-on, it will make your wheels imbalance. Thus, that is something dangerous. Not recommended at all.
WHITE TIRE PAINT by Orn Sigurddson
NOW IN SINGAPORE !!Orn Sigurddsson and his Chemical Engineer friend managed to make a white rubber-paint which is elastic enough to be painted on all kinds of tires and does not crack or peel off.
The paint was developed and produced in Iceland by Orn Sigurddsson himself with the help of a chemical engineer friend. There is a liquid in the paint which makes it softer and easier to paint which is partly made of thinner. But the main secret behind the formula is a fluid we put into the rubber which keeps it from getting completely solid. Actually the paint gets only 50% solid-hardness, preventing it from cracking on the moving tire. If you apply a small amount of the paint on a plastic film and peel it off after it is dry, you can stretch it like a balloon. That is why it tolerates the fast rotating radial tires, which will destroy all other paint. We also put titanium into the paint to minimize the effect of sunlight on the colour.
PERFECT for all types of tyres. Be it bicycles, trucks, motorcycles, cars, aeroplanes etc etc.
I've been using & selling White Tire Paint since the beginning of this blog in 2007.
THE PERFECT WHITEWALL PAINTING FORMULA FOR TYRES!!
This White Tire Paint a.k.a WTP is a good rubberised paint however it tends to turn "browning" after a couple of weeks. It needs to be cleaned with a Whitewall tyre cleaner, in this case I use BlackMagic Tyre Cleaner. However, even after cleaning it no longer look white but rather "off-white". I found out that the "browning" is not due to the quality of WTP but rather to the tyre's black carbon that will seep thru' the paint eventually.
Tyre from different manufacturers re-act differently. Some will turn "browning" immediately while others will turn after a couple of weeks or months later. Thereafter it is advisable to paint another coat of WTP.
I experimented with lotsa "formulas" to achieve the perfect whitewall alternative. Finally now I got it!!
It does not crack. Nor will it turn "browning".
However, I will not be able to disclose my "secret" but
I will launch my Tyre-wall Painting business in Singapore soon instead.
Watch-out for my next post....................thank you.
I will still be selling the amazing WTP in Singapore & for Malaysia.
