Title: CHANGING THE COLOUR OF MY TIRES
Post by: baldbmxer on October 01, 2009, 06:39 PM: I have some early yellow badged comp 3 tyres, they are nos and red but have some dirt enbedded into them and I cant get them clean.

Was thinking about getting some satin black paint in a rattle tin and spraying them over.

What do you think to the following......

A) What do you think about me doing this? :-\

B) Waste of time or purposeful exercise? ;D

C) Will it work OK? :(

D) Will the colour come off ass the tire wears when I'm carving the turns? :D

E) How much will they be worth when done? ;)

.....Mad idea.
