How I paint Whitewalls on used tires

- In this video I do some repairs on the Model T pickup and add some window juice to my International pickup. I also show how I paint my whitewall tires. So far they seem to hold up pretty good to winter abuse for a homemade whitewall tire.

U can learn something EVERY DAY !!! SWEET WINTER BEATER !!! THANKS !
I just changed a broken tire on my truck. Thought something was wrong with the front end. Those whitewalls are the way to go for sure. One thing I seen on a ratrod was a tire cut in half and used as a fender. Really was bad ass. Love you videos Brent. Keep it up
Yeah seen pictures of that and had to have a double take.
Having a grand ol’e time watching your channel! Thanks for taking all the time and effort to post your work. Regards from St Marys, GA.
Love those old trucks, I have a 51 Ford F3...
pretty cool when your wife likes to drive old stuff to, my wife drove my 2001 jeep tj and went and got her one the same year and fixed it up nicer them my jeep, best part is she used her own cash
,you do nice work love your old trucks
Thanks man, Yeah she's got 2 of her own a 46 dodge pickup and a 64 Buick also.
Awesome video. Cant believe i am just learning now that you can paint your own whitewalls....its brilliant
Think in the 50's they sold paint to do it haha
A jakiej farby Ty użyłeś
Cool idea ! With the painted white Walls. I like the window washer set up. 😎🤟
Thanks for checking it out!
they used to put white house paint on the tires back in the day.and used motor oil for wax on the body to make it shine. looking good.thank`s for the video`s
Heard of the house paint deal, but the motor oil part would have sucked haha
Another amazing video. If there's a will there's a whitewall.Really neat International.Thanks for letting me know that someone you know may have a turtle deck.I have an old Ford gas tank that would fit nicely on top of the rear kick up.In those old plans the LOOK is defanately there.Split wishbones front and rear ,banjo rear end ,modelA springs front and rear,Front spring perches are in the wishbones so the straight axle is in front of the spring.The space between firewall and rad isn't too big, just what you need so wheelbase is on the shorter side.It's one of those things that if you "don't get it ",you won't understand the purple glow from blue dots either.Thanks again Brent.
Sounds like the front end of my tall T has the same deal that you want to build.
Liked the heck out of the internationals of that period cause of the cowboy cab. Made higher so your hat didn't scape and fall off. I unbolted one and took parts from each one making it a one of a kind cab. I also took a Diamond T cab and put it on a 95 one ton 4 X 4 frame with air conditioning and sold it to a friend who drove from alaska to his winter home in Texas (I called him a snow bird) and after last frost he returned pulling a texas built trailer and he would grab all sorts of parts from the rust free state. I was lucky on that cab as it had been it a garage all its life and was rust free not one scratch on it and he had it painted the same color as his wife's lipstick and its still on the road, in texas right now. He buys those real fancy trailers for little to nothing and gets full dollar here paying his fuel bill round trip. The parts are all the ones people want and pay good money for, He brought me a K3500 GMC and gave it to me. It had less than fifteen thousand on the speedometer and was a treasure to me so I took the cab off my roll back and put in on these 89 4X4 roller with a 12 valve in it... I had bought the ford roll back from a towing company and used latter new running gear with fresh parts in the cummins engine. My grandson always loved that truck cause I had got a good six speed out of a low mile wreck. I would say one of my prouder moments. After I had lost a lot of my stuff, I told him to move my furniture and clothes to this cabin my brothers cabin (R.i.P. 19) and he was doing so good with things i had given him that he was elated when I gave him title to that truck, complete tire setup with balancer too and one large tool cabinet with the side boxes. complete with all the tools that box could hold, and test equipment including a modus which I never learned to run. I thought it would give him a job for life. He parted it all away and become a carpenter! Go figure.
Heck yeah those international's are great, I''m going to be doing a IH cummins swap this summer I think.
Those windshield squirters = Talent! That's what's up! I had to do something like that years ago on my Camaro my pump stopped working and I found some sort of pump and rigged it up but I didn't have to fab up the squirters !
haha the new stuff just don't work right, this works looks a little wonky but what ever function over beauty. :)
Whitewalls in the UK are ridiculously expensive, I'll be trying this fo sure!!
I think it adds alot of awsum detail for just abit of materials and some handy work. Great Idea
Thanks dude!
They say necessity is the mother of all invention! There for, if you need it there's no harm in making what you need! I find it rather ingenious! It's a great idea, I was rather atppgmtp to learn your method! So thanks!
Thanks for checking it out!
Damn, thank you for this! I was looking a white walls, but man they are expensive to get them to Canada. Going to try this. Great video as always.
Haha yeah, portawalls are pretty good to though.
I like the old Truck & the spray on whitewall option ...didnt know that about International Truck Hoods for those years!...
Great job. Looking good for just paint. Another great video 👍👍🇨🇱
Very awesome info. I love how you did the white wall tires. Awesome job and I loved the pickup.. Awesome work on both and very beautiful rides.. Keep those wrenches a turnin and those tires on burnin..
haha Thanks man!
Those are two very nice old trucks I love them both very nice work 👏
That was awesome thanks for the whitewall paint tip.
I’d love to see more of that international!
Love that International! You know wifey is going to want a splitter for that washer. Just saying. Cool stuff.
haha as long as she can see shes good, as for being a passenger, she's usually lucky if I have a wiper on that side as the vacuum wipers usually don't have enough oomph to make both of them work haha.
Love this!!! Thank you. Exactly what I was looking for. Project, diy giving my PT cruiser a more retro look.
Love your channel, always look forward to new videos. Best to you man!
Thanks for checking it out!
Drivers are the best I think. Cool stuff.
Yeah I had a really nice car and it was to much work lol
Love that mustache grill. :)
I think I saw these trucks around. Nice to see a fellow Manitoban on here. Like the painting idea, have to try it.
Prob have as they are the only things I have to drive haha
@@HalfassKustoms Nothing wrong with that. How you you get around safetying and registering these when they're not "stock". I thought mpi doesn't allow this. Guess it goes for rat rods and mild customs.
@@crushingvanessa3277 A lot of new rules have been put in place for hot rods the past year from mpi.
@@HalfassKustoms Good to know, thanks. Now if they'd just advertise it.
@@crushingvanessa3277 yeah unless your in the hotrod scene or a member of MAAC most people don't know.
thanks for the white wall tip, thats cool, i like your style, have a good year
Thanks dude, will do!
Cool as mate couldn't do better my self .keep up the great video's 👍👍
Thanks man
Excellent video! Hot Rod tips 101 !
Yours turned out great. Mine not so much . I tried this on 41 Chevy back in the sixtes
Great international man , always learning from the videos ,Thanks man
Hey man just found your channel. Looks awesome so far. Went ahead and subscribed
Thanks for the sub!
Nice trucks 🚚👍😊🐣🐤
Yes that LS is really stuffed in there good job man.
yeah it's a little tight. kinda built the truck around the motor haha
I had a 70 Chevy panel truck when I got married in 78. It had cancer all the way around the bottom.
Plumb it to the sun visor to spray all the way across would be different. Love the binder.
Ah to much work, and she only needs to see outta the drivers side anyway haha
Winter whitewalls 👍👍👍 awesome
haha winter tires need a little pizazz
All set to scrape the curb .Been there done that when I have been oot and aboot
Haha I have touch up, no worries.
DUDE! I remember driving bias ply tires in the winter ... NOT a pleasant thing.
I also remember how they would stay flat in REAL cold, for a couple of blocks - thunk, thunk, thunk ....
Haha yeah that's only if you can get moving.
If that’s a white letter tire, you can grind that side wall down into a wide white wall. I’ve done a set this way. This way turned out nice too.
Yeah I've done that in the past to. The only thing I don't dig is you never know where the edge will be and you sometimes get a weird wiggle in the whitewall haha
Halfass Kustoms haha ya that is true. I practiced on a junk tire before I did my set. Got lucky and they turned out pretty good.
Happy wife happy life😂👍👍👍👍👌👌👌Now that's a real man talking.By the way,i dig your garage.💪👌👌👌
Thanks dude!
Great video
Definitely a cool idea.
You should pant the lnternational gust saying cool video man 👍✌
Loved the diy/spray can white walls...not sure if we have "trenclad" in Illnois, have to check it out...thanks!
Tremclad in Canada = Rustoleum in U.S., same paint different name.
@@mickenzie5863ahhhh 🧠
You can use your tire changing machine for precision radial welding of parts. You could put a lathe Chuck on top of there.
Very cool! Great video!
great video
Cool video, gonna try on my bobber. Btw ur motor has a bad fuel injector ware ur misfire is at and is dumping fuel into ur oil causing it to go past full mark and causing valve covers to leak. Check ur oil and also smell it. Dealing with same problem myself.
My oil isn't filling but it still could be an injector as that's the last thing I have to replace yet.
I forgot to say it looks very cold in the shop .way way back in time working on customs .I used to say to people that It was so cold in the shop i used to put my spanners in the refrigerator to warm them up .And don't beat yourself up about your nose lol lots of love from over the pond
Haha all good.
Man you LS everything. Love it
Kinda have to small blocks are expensive out here if you can find them.
@@HalfassKustoms ls stuff is expensive here, but so is everything else
lsg stuff is actually pretty cheap motors with harness I've found for 300 to 600$
@@HalfassKustoms that's awesome. Yea clapped out high mile sbc stuff still brings that kind of price here. I got a 454 sitting on the ground in my shop with a th400 that I've got 3 hours work in trade. Cant let it go cause I want to use it somewhere someday in a ratrod
@@johnk2126 yeah I've never really had a big block other than a hemi in my old chrylser ute.
They used to make snow tiers had a set on my57 pickup
Love your work.
Thanks man!
Nice truck! Tremclad seems tough to find in usa
How about some nice von duch pinstriping on the whight walls ? Or a bit of nose art on the doors .I love that truck
Haha my nose is big enough I don't need to paint it on my door haha

Think I’m gonna go paint some tires.
Way better than a set of floppity port-a-walls, eh? ;-))
Ya got me sayin’ chooch 😂
I love Canadian slang so much but only masters speak of ‘chooching’.
Not to be confused with ‘cheech’ !!
yee haw. ! Number one !!! dig it !!
It feels good, don't it? Gives you warm fuzzies all over!
@@faerieSAALE - I can sleep well tonight ...
Nice job Brent!
I should have watched this before I bought my Porta-walls
The first set I ever saw was on your “Bare it all” 50 Chevy
I like both, portawalls have a nice shine look though.
Totally
I’ll run the porta-walls in the summer
But I like the idea of painted whitewalls on my winter tires
I had a set many years ago. They didn't hold up well to sustained highway speeds, but some of the blame could attach to the rough joints of New York State's ka-Whump, ka-Whump, ka-Whump Southern Tier Expressway. That'll shake your back teeth loose, and pound your old ball type wheel bearings to death.
You got me saying that great looking trucks you built wish where I live that I could do what you have done with the trucks but the state I live in is now it has to be as left from the factory or no sticker and if you want to drive a modified car / truck has to have classic plate which makes it useless for every day use
Sounds crappy, I'd have a hard time with that haha
Im new but your a funny dude didnt expect that full chooch or cheech which ever cracked me up.ha ha!
Love that little truck man I'll betunder the full chooch. Lol bet it hauls.ass. ha ha .
Nice job
Thank you for the video.
Great tips.
you should try to spin on the tape with that tire machine, i like the wire wheel method
Started doing that haha
Wide white walls for me on the "56 T-bird this summer!
How long does the white lasts? Does it peel off eventually?
Nice work
Dear whistles do help to keep Dear way when driving down the road .
That really is cool
Very cool! Subbed.
Thanks man!
Considering one side of the tire had white letters you could have just buffed that side down to the white.
Yeah I've done that in the past but find they don't always come out with a consistent line around the edge.
At first glance in the thumbnail I thought it was quesadillas in the tire... then I realized it wasnt and was a bit sad lol.
Yeah the paint makes it taste funny.
The brake line for the windshield washer had snot in it? How do these things even happen?
Thanks for the tip! How you do your wite wall tires. It looks 👌..🐣
Happy Easter!
MOUNT ONE OF THOSE WASHER PUMPS ON THE REAR BUMPER TO SQUIRT TAILGATERS!
Haha that would be pretty good.
Need to hook up that transmission kickdown, I put mine on my gas pedal......slick rat though
Ah all you gotta do is pull er down a gear when you need it :)
Are small ponds in Minnesota are going out right as we speak turning back into water.
New subscribe here. Awesome ratrod!
Thanks for the sub dude!
Looks so easy to paint on whitewalls, makes me want to do it too my VW golf.... er well , when I try to vision it, I think...not so much...hehe. They again some how through the years were have been indoctrinated to think black wall tires are "cool", never really got that... I mean its just a plain old black tire... hmmmm....that heard mentally is a funny thing....
Funny thing is I dig blackwall tires on old fenderless hotrods haha
Delete Delete Delete! Lmao. Good system though as long as you actually delete those parts. =D
Subscribed.
haha I know
Love the International, had one at the farm when I was a kid. Fits together real well, track width etc.. Did you have to cut the firewall? Looks tight there. Thanks for sharing
Yeah I did have to. I didn't move the motor in the chassis so that was why I had to cut it.
@@HalfassKustoms kinda figured it that way. Makes it a fun little truck. You could get a video out of it just going over how it went together. Not too many of those, much less put together that way.
@@oldschool6345 haha I have a bunch of cars in the shed and might do something like that in the spring when i start pulling them out.
Wonder if white Flex Steel would work?
Never tried it, there videos of fellows using it but no long time use to show how it's holding out over a few months of driving.
The off-white looks more authentic, like the old natural rubber!
Yeah fits the truck better anyway.
EXCELLENT.
You covered 2 things here that I've been meaning to get around to on my old truck...I was considering portowalls...but this might be the way to go....would white rustoleum work ?
Portawalls are great but don't get larger than the 2" you'll never get anything bigger to sit better on a radial tire, as for the paint I have to say stick with the tremclad, tried other paint and it will yellow and crack over time.
you only put the window washer streamer on the driver side? what about the passenger side. don't you think the entire windshield needs it?
hello .. I am a strict followers who live in turkey. your projects are great.. I congratulate your team. I have an amateur bobber project. I tried various methods of applying white stripe on the sidewalls. but I could not get a long-term performance. There are alternatives in my research such as asphalt line paint, leather seat paint and plastic bottom. I do not want to experience situations such as deformation and separation of paint from the surface after application. For this reason, I would like your advice on the right paint material and the correct application method. Has it deformed over time? Has the paint peeled off? Can you suggest me?
Are you using a flexible tape to make clean outside line curves.?
just a good quality masking tape
Full chooch! Hahaha
Tremclad white primer not available in UK. Is it oil based or water based? 🤔
Wow takes car out in winter
Haha I have to, it's my only wheels.
@@HalfassKustoms wow
Awesome!
Is the International still using the vacuum wiper motor?
Yep, if it works why change it haha
Brent, is that Tremclad paint a rubberized paint designed for just what you did with the whitewalls or simple latex or oil based paint? ...and where do you buy it?
We get it at Canadian tire here. It's just a metal primer paint, think the primer is the key in this over regular paint as I have used regular paint in the past and it just cracks after a month or so.
@@HalfassKustoms Thanks for the info Brent. I passed this info on the pâint onto a fellow Canadian from Alberta whose into older cars too (except he keeps them stock and leaves most of them in a natural condition) . His UA-cam channel is COLDWARMOTORS and his name is Scott
Hi
Whats the type of paint used to create the white wall?
You mention it in the vid but i can hardly hear it!
We dont have cold winter here in Puerto Rico, its hot all the year long.
Will it work?
Thanks!
I used tremclad primer
How much of a pain is it to get them registered? Here in alberta a out of province is already a total pain,as they are brutal on the inspections.
They aren't that bad they changed all the inspection rules last year for hot rods and stuff e.g chop height and no fenders now.
