SEM makes a product that will dye them . It is a spray paint for plastic or leather or rubber or carpet or just about any thing. This is a good product as i use it all the time in my shop. I just dyed light tan carpet to a dark grey. You can get it at most professional auto paint stores. Get semi gloss black. Cost about 14.00 a can Wilkie

I have used SEM products in the past and that didnt even cross my mind... Thanks!

I have used regular old black spray paint and it never came off. Tire should be there on Tuesday before you mount it just spray the thing it will last trust me.


Really? Hmmm... thought that would come off too easily... I can try that too... Thanks!

Just go to your local print shop and ask them for some black ink, if your nice they can cut it with some
solvent and make a nice thin paste for you, just use a rag and wipe it on, it will dry in a day and you
will never have to touch up.......

I'm laughing, not at anybody, but just the way the world turns. Usually, we have people with blackwalls who crave white walls and are looking for suggestions.

This just tickles my funny bone.

I think twotones "ink" idea would be a good one.

The probelm is Tony aka thegrinder needed a tire before heading out on a trip, so I gave him a tire I had but it was a white wall so I suggested he just black it out as I know he likes blackwalls just like I do.

Thank you Danny! I didn't know if you wanted that info to be released or not... but anyways, here is what's happening now... my brother needed a tire a few weeks back and could not get a white wall in the time frame needed, so he wound up with a black wall... I was telling him about this deal and he suggested we trade tires... so we are... it all works out in the wash... no need to worry about it now... and just in time for the trip!
