Tire paint WHITE "Professional" 250ml
In stock
Ref.: 03402318
The white tire paint was developed in Iceland. It contains a component that is partly made of thinner and which makes it softer and easier to paint with. The secret ingredient behind the formula is a fluid that is added to the rubber and which prevents the rubber from hardening completely. In fact, the paint hardens only for 50%, preventing it from cracking on the moving tire. Also recommended for marking (letters) tires or renewing old sides. This paint is perfect for diagonal (nylon) tires, but the soft sidewalls of radial tires will cause cracking on some types. That is why we recommend the White Tire Paint only for diagonal tires, even though it can be used on radial tires, but then only at the owner's responsibility. Contents: 250 ml (enough for 3 to 4 tire sides) APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS 1. Sand the tires so that all irregularities or letters are gone (grain 180). This may also happen with a sander. After this you can sand even finer (400 grit) to achieve an even surface. 2. Clean the tires thoroughly with paint thinner or silicone remover (which leave nothing behind after evaporation). Use several cotton cloths to prepare the surface properly before painting. Repeat this treatment until no more dirt commes on the cotton cloth while cleaning, even if you have to repeat this up to 10 times 3. To achieve a ""perfect"" curved paint line it is best to outline the desired whitewall area using common automotive painter's tape (pin stripe tape). After painting, the painted outlines must be scored to prevent tearing the paint upon removal of the tape. 4. Shake and stir the paint well and often. Paint 3 layers of WTP and let each layer dry for 24 hours. After the last coat let the tires dry for at least 24 hours before use. Equipment should be cleaned with turpentine. The paint is applied with a brush. It is rather thick for good coverage and adhesion. The first coat covers amazingly well. The second coat completely seals the tire and the third coat will make it stronger and more durable against small accidents, such as contact with a curb. The paint dries slowly allowing all brush marks to disappear. There is a strong possibility that the tires will show a brown (or yellow) colored rubber-softening material through the paint. Triple layered paint will reduce this discoloration. If the tires are brand new this might be a problem. Then 4 or even 5 thin layers of the paint are needed to close in this brown softening material. If the plan is to spray the paint, please use Toluene as a thinner. To help keep water and dirt away it is good to spray a tire cleaner on the tires, two or three layers before the first drive. It is also a good idea to have tire cleaner in the car, to clean all dirt and grease from the white walls after a journey to the countryside. WARNING : Keep out of reach of children. Harmful or fatal if swallowed. If swallowed, seek medical advice immediately. Avoid contact with eyes. In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of clean, cold water. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment.
