I bought a set of four vintage F70-14, 3/8" wide, white wall tires last year and would like to turn them into red walls. Any advice on how to do this? :scratchchin:

I've heard about this stuff.....never used it myself though.  Looks like its exactly what you would need!

Thanks for the link Chris. The radial red lines on my original 14" road wheels need some touching up. I will give it a try.

If anyone tries the Dupli-Color Hot Tire paint pens, let me know what you think of the product.  Thanks.... :icon_smile_question:

terrible one

Too bad the paint is so thick and the tip so dull. This product was a great idea but the way it is made makes it impossible to accomplish a precise job."

It does make whatever you put it on white, but the white quickly turns brown after driving even a short distance. My friend and I each bought one and tried it on our own vehicles with the same results. At least it is somewhat easy to remove. Maybe a different color would work better?"

"Defiantly does NOT work. Comes off easy and it was hard to get paint to come out of pen."

"Dont buy it, looks great for about one weeks then comes off."

"this shi+ DOES NOT WORK!!!! i did mines in yellow... they lasted 2 weeks.... 2 hours spent for nothing"

That should give you your answer. Definitely not something to ruin your white walls with! (But then again it sounds like it's easily removed whether you want it off or not!
