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,....
