duplicolor tire paint black. Amazon has it. Wipe it on, don't spray it like it says.

Before you apply the black, make sure you clean the tires well with a solvent that would remove any silicone or stuff from tire cleaners or foreign substances. I once bought a used truck for my business and the dealer had installed whitewall tires. I am NOT a fan. I gave them a quick wipe down with laquer thinner and sprayed them a couple good coats with flat black. Drove it to a friend's shop and the paint was dangling like black ribbons and potato chips from the sidewall. Boys had a good laugh. Thinking armorall was the prime suspect.

Ive done that to several of my cars in the past. I just leave the whitewall in and dont paint them at all.

I used it on the whitewalls on the outside when I bought my cc pu. Didn’t turn them in for out. I used to repaint a few spots once in a while but it’s good stuff.
