Yes, and I really want a front white wall tire.. you can buy the IRC Grand Prix ones at my local Suzuki stealership.. or maybe I'm thinking of a Shinko 777 I think it's about a $5 to $10 difference.. so if that bucket of paint would save you some money in the long run if you know how to change/balance your own tires and have an actual bike lift..

I bought the Ranger white wall paint a while back for the rear tire. It goes on real good but tough to make a prefect circle Smiley Also it gets real dirty real quick. Well I dont wash my bike.

Cool.

Two things I learned about turning blackwalls into whitewalls.

1. Clean the sidewalls like you have never cleaned anything before.  The surface must not only be oil-free, soap-free, and dirt-free, it must be scored lightly,. like from a Brillo pad or a stainless steel scrubber.  If it is not slightly scuffed and absolutely clean, the paint won't stick very well, and some of the surface rubber will dissolve into the paint and make tan areas.

2. You can get a perfect circle edge on the whitewall by finding some way to get the wheel up in the air and having someone spin it slowly for you while you hold the brush still and let it scribe a perfect circle for you.

good luck,....

The guy that told me about it said it was recommended not to use new tires because of the release agent.
Sand the surface lightly and clean with bleach.
