Hi Chris & All, Beautiful day out there! I strongly hesitate to chip in here, as this will really show the enormity of my years! But...there used to be a rubberized paint, made for painting white walls on your tires. Any of this still around? JC Whitney seems to be an obvious place to start looking? Also a white paint is made for recoating white water rafts? have a goooda Juan! JC...
