Oh, now this is cool...! White rubber paint that lets you create your own whitewalls out of whatever which tires you feel like running.

Hey, I like it! Now you can paint "my tires cost less than your tires with raised white letters" on your tires!

What would be cool would be to paint an otherwise strange design on the wheels. But when you drive say 65ish mph it reads out something like "83' Dodge D150 Slant Six", assuming you can get that much writing on the tire. It would look way cooler than spinners on a Tempo.

Road markings are made reflective by blowing glass beads onto the still-wet stripe/line paint. I'd like to do up a set of tires with this whitewall gookum then glass-bead 'em so that cross traffic sees ghostly white circles crossing in front of them. Retroreflective sidewalls are common on bicycle tires in Europe...why not car tires here, eh!

I wonder if you could tint the paint and have purple or green wall tires?

Sure! And use it on these tires for the full multimedia effect: http://www.autoblog.com/2005/11/06/kumh ... l-scented/

Schweet! Is this a Ronco product? Paint it on and then drive really fast before it drives.

Remember those Hotwheel cars that changed colour when dipped in water? Get a gallon of that and paint your car. You'd always look forward to a good rain shower especially in mid day traffic along side other cars Gives a new meaning to 'acid rain' 8)

I inquired about that stuff, it came in an epoxy style only, and not cheap...it changes mostly with temperature (I thought it would be cool to hose the car down with a CO2 fire extinguisher making it "blue"...then go speeding someplace , then in the summer sun it would turn Red during the get away....LOL

For a while they sold a few hues of glow in the dark paint by the quart for making pinstriping and emblems on your vehicle...Spendy to prep a whole car in it, but having a "ghost car" rolling down the turnpike at 3 in the morning might get the truckers, cops, and sleepy cali drivers telling some high tales... :twisted:

Yeah that glow in the dark paint, I forgot about that. I wanted to paint my 70' A100 dodge van w/slant in that years ago in a pale green with license plate that read 'ZOMBIE'. I miss that van ahhh to be young and frivolous again :D

What would be cool is to paint your tires with either this white paint or glow in the dark paint and mount little UV lights or blacklights in the fenderwells. :)
