Whitewall Tyres, painting or portawalls ?

I'm thinking i want Whitewall tyres on my Brumby, it's a bit of a sleeper & i think whitewalls would add to the retro / standard look of the car.

i've just fitted new bob jane all rounder tyres so would need to somehow fit whitewalls to these.

anyone know if it's possible to paint witewalls on or anyone used " portawalls" or any other way i can do it ? or anywhere to get them done professionally on the gold coast ?

i've got a before / after here i did in Paint on my laptop & i think it looks pretty decent ??

cheers

Well here in adelaide there's a guy that comes to your home and professionally does it. Check out the adelaide white walls facebook page to see how he does it if you like. I've had couple cars done by him and the quality is awesome. There must be someone that does up your way that you might have to search up.

Just to let youknow i used to do coloured sidewalls just make sure your tyres are at least 1000 to 1500 k on them to leach out some of the oil otherwise it can discolour your stripe

thanks guys, i google searched for it on the coast here with no luck, i found 3 on facebook in radelaide though !! bring in super detective mrs chinski :

" i found a guy that does it here"

i probably have over 2000 k's on these tyres so should be sweet there, good advice , cheers !

will get it done soon i reckon, $150 for all 4 is pretty good i think

got the whitewalls done today, my mrs found a few mobile businesses but contact details all old & can't find anyone who still does it, the only place we could find here is Gas wheels & tyres in mermaid beach, $150 for the lot & will touch up the paint for free in a month if it fades.

i'm happy with the result !
