White wall paint
« on: August 16, 2007, 05:53:33 AM »
I am set up to distribute white wall paint for a company I just did my bike last night. I am going to put the final coat on tonight and I will post pics. Just wanted to see if anyone would be interested....I cant believe how much I fell in love with the look of the bike last night with white walls on it. I have been searching for a good paint for a while...price would be about 20.00 and probably a couple bucks shipping. I still have over half the can left to so it would easily do car tires or touch ups if needed for a while in case you hit a curb or something.

how do you recommend getting a nice perfect circle around the tire?

That is what I am working on when I get home. I will post pics then and give some details on how I did it or how you should do it.

being a residential painter (among other things) my immediate response was "white walls are boring but, let's see what he has to say"

i continued to read and thought "oh my gawd, he really painted his bike w/ wall paint!"

then i got to the part where you fell in love w/ your white walls ON your bike so i knew something was fishy.   :D
